Eliquis

Eliquis is an anticoagulant medication, which means it's designed to prevent the formation of blood clots. It's primarily used in cases of atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) and after hip or knee replacement surgeries. Some possible side effects include minor bleeding, nausea, and minor headaches, but your healthcare provider will weigh these against the benefits of blood clot prevention.
