Eliquis is great, and if you can afford it, it's probably better than warfarin for you just because if you're taking Eliquis you don't need to make sure to eat about the same amount of vitamin K every week. You also don't need to go get your blood drawn every few weeks to make sure your INR is within range, then get upset when it's not, even though you're "pretty sure" you've been eating the same amount of greens that you usually do. Wait, a can of cooked spinach has more vitamin K than a cup of iceberg lettuce? Really? No I don't think you told me that last time. Well I guess I'll try to remember that in the future. I have to take extra warfarin today and tomorrow to balance out that spinach? Okay but then what do I do? The same amount as usual? I dunno this is confusing. Can I just call you every day and ask how much warfarin I should take today?

. . . sorry. Working at an anticoagulation clinic right now.

Anyway. Honestly I have no real clue how much this stuff is either, except that warfarin is basically dirt cheap and that Eliquis is expensive as shit.

I'm assuming something like Xarelto is somewhere in the middle, cost-wise, but honestly I have no real idea.

I'm just saying that if you can afford it, and you aren't contraindicated in some way, a direct oral anticoagulant is much easier to actually take than warfarin is.
