I have been on Eliquis now for six months for A-fib. No issues, and no more testing. They do have the antidote now at major hospitals in case of an injury. I forget the name of it, but not all hospitals have access to it at this time. Guess I need to settle down a bit riding those trails on my four-wheeler.
My wife tests frequently due to a clotting disorder. She purchased her own testing machine on amazon.com and buys her test strips where she can. She tests and reports her readings to a nurse, the nurse consults the doctor, someone from the office calls her and informs her of her readings (which she already knows) and tells her what dose to take. Handy when we travel.
