What is the downside of taking Eliquis?

Eliquis raises your risk of bleeding. Most people experience minor bleeding while taking Eliquis. Minor bleeding includes nosebleeds, light bruising, and bleeding from the gums when brushing your teeth. The amount of blood loss should be small and stop on its own. While rare, Eliquis can cause serious or life-threatening bleeding. Contact your healthcare team right away if you notice bleeding that’s taking longer than usual to stop. View original source
