What is Eliquis & Where to Buy Eliquis Online?

Eliquis (apixaban) is a brand-name medication known as a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). Eliquis treats various blood clotting disorders by helping prevent blood clots from forming that may cause stroke, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, and more.

About 87% of all strokes are ischemic strokes, in which blood flow to the brain is blocked.^[1]

What makes Eliquis effective is that it can combat the body’s natural thrombin-producing agent, Factor Xa (FXa), that may unnecessarily cause the formation of dangerous blood clots. If this happens in the brain, the heart, or in the lungs, then a person may suffer a stroke, a heart attack, or a pulmonary embolism. To prevent these potential life-threatening problems in patients predisposed to unnecessary clotting, a daily dose of Eliquis may be just what the doctor orders.

 —February 3, 2022 —While fewer people older than age 75 are having strokes, the incidence of stroke among ages 49 and younger in the U.S. has continued to increase over the last 30 years.^[2] 

Why Eliquis?

Eliquis is commonly marketed for people with atrial fibrillation (AFib) not caused by a heart valve problem. While Eliquis works to reduce clotting problems in the heart, it also helps prevent blood clots from forming in the brain and in the pulmonary system, or the lungs.

Manufactured by Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb, and approved for sale in the US in 2012, Eliquis is on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medications. Its popularity can be understood when we learn that in 2020 Eliquis was the 48th most prescribed medicine in the US.

Who Takes Eliquis?

Because Eliquis gives rise to improved blood flow through arteries and veins, people who take the drug are less likely to form blood clots. Furthermore, Eliquis is used to treat people who previously had a health problem caused by a blood clot, such as:

• a blood clot in the leg (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT)
• a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism)

Eliquis is also used to prevent blood clots for people at high risk of having a future blood clot, such as those who:

• have previously had a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA)
• have an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation)
• have heart failure
• have recently had surgery to replace a hip or knee joint

Eliquis is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age. However, a recent study to confirm its safety and efficacy for youth did show positive results. Eliquis should not be prescribed for who:

• have had a serious allergic reaction to the medication
• have artificial heart valves
• are currently experiencing certain types of abnormal bleeding
• have APS, particularly with positive triple antibody testing, who have a history of blood clots

Eliquis is available in tablet form, and it can be taken with or without food. 

Buying Eliquis Online

Eliquis is not inexpensive. The good news is that there are programs and strategies to help cover the high costs of Eliquis. Following, you will find some support strategies available that can help cover the costs of Eliquis, regardless of whether you have insurance, are on Medicare, or otherwise.

Medicare Parts A and B cover medically-necessary services, but do not prescriptions. However, the stand-alone Part D Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) program may help lower the costs of Eliquis. This program is beneficial for people who take a high number of medications.

Medicaid, a public health insurance program, is funded jointly by individual states and the US government to help low-income Americans. Prescription drug coverage varies across states. Due to the complicated nature of health insurance in the US, it is best to discuss Medicaid with your healthcare provider or to speak to an Eliquis representative by calling the number on their website: 1-855-354-7847

Insurance assistance may be available; check to see if your plan has lower copays for Eliquis at preferred mail order pharmacies. Some plans require you go through a mail order pharmacy and order greater than a 30-day supply. Fortunately, a 90-day supply might be cheaper, anyway.

A good bet for Eliquis cost-saving might be found when you ask your healthcare provider for help. Begin by asking for a free trial card. The trial card is good for 30 days. Another strategy is to request Eliquis samples that come in both 2.5 and 5mg. strengths.

After that, patients can get a Co-Pay Card or Payment Assistance Card. The co-pay card coupon covers 24 months with a maximum savings of $3,000/year. Though the card is only accepted at participating pharmacies, those buying Eliquis online may request a patient rebate form by downloading it from www.patient rebate online.com.

Another helpful tip, visit the Eliquis company website. You’ll click on your prognosis type and also look for Elise, a chatbot, who’s happy to help answer your questions. If you prefer speaking with a human, tap on the phone number on the website, or call 1-855-354-7847.

While surfing the site, see also, SHARE YOUR STORY: STRENGTH IN SHARING PROGRAM, where you can register for the chance to share your personal health story,  experiences even your insights. Participants have a chance to be featured in videos, and they may even receive a range of promotional materials.

Again, due to the complicated nature of healthcare costs and pharmaceutical coverages, you might think that an Eliquis savings card doesn’t work for an international pharmacy. This is not the case!

Simply look at the online site pharmacy checker to find where to input your Eliquis Discount Card Number. The site will calculate and display your savings which may really add up! The site presents a list of pharmacies—usually across several countries—that can ship your medication to you.

Just make certain that you check for accredition. To check the legitimacy of an online pharmacy, check here. You will find that results include the range of pharmacies’ prices, a good tool for comparison. Please also note that accreditation, while important, does not necessarily guarantee the best product. Look instead for pharmacies highlighted with the 🇨🇦 icon. The icon denotes US-approved regulatory systems for both the pharmacies and their pharmaceutical products.

To purchase, you must provide your valid prescription, your personal information, and your credit card information. Although accredited pharmacies look to protect their excellent reputations, which they’ve worked hard to earn, identity protection can be an issue.

You may also note that for some medications, you can request either the generic or

brand cost; remember, no generic Eliquis, though approved by the FDA, is yet

unavailable, unless purchasing from Canada.

For patients looking to SAVE UP TO 90% on their medication, can buy Eliquis online from Canada for optimal savings, especially for those without insurance or who have reached their insurance threshold in which medication costs are no longer covered.

Canadian pharmacies can offer substantially lower-priced medications when compared to US prices due to government regulations. Orders are typically express-shipped and use temperature-controlled packaging if necessary. Patients can expect their medication within just a few days depending on their proximity to the pharmacy.
