Eliquis

January121 · ‎03-21-2010

Is anyone taking Eliquis & find that they are loosing their hair? .... I started taking it in November 2016 & for the last 2 months I am finding lots of hair on the brush & when I wash my hair I notice more hair on the shower floor..... other than that I have no side effects .... I am thinking of asking the doctor for a change of medication ..... Luckily I had a lot oh hair before this started but, I don't want to loose too much!! ... TIA

Son in Law has been on it for a year or so now, and he has a head absolutely full of hair. No apparent problem here.

No hair loss here and I've been on it for 17 months.

On drug name topic, but not the hair. On blood thinners(Coumadin/Warfarin(it's generic)/Plavix), the first 2 for over 7 years. Were I to need, and or decide to go on thinners again?

It would not be Eliquis/Pradaxa or Xeralto. I would stick to the Coumadin(Warfarin), in spite of my history of having full blood draws between 3-7 days every week. Not every 4 to 6 weeks, like many. Been proven for well over 25 years. The others? One thing they proved to me is "I'll take my risks with PE or DVT". Since a portion of my heart muscle is dead, I want to keep the heart valves I have now, and don't want to risk changing, for that reason.

I could always wear "a rug" or a hat, but a possible risk with my heart valves on my twice damaged heart muscle? Not for me.
