prevention of thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation
"I have Atrial Fibrillation and thought I would try Eliquis due to its superior safety protocol.  I have only been on it for 2 weeks but after the first several days, I have noticed an increasing burning/flushing sensation similar to a sun burn over most of my body.  I have not had any gastrointestinal upset.

I will continue to take Eliquis for a few more days but may have to discontinue it."
