Use Eliquis exactly as your doctor has told you. Do not increase or decrease the prescribed doses of the medicine yourself.
If you have any doubts about the recommended dosage or have the impression that the effect of the drug is too weak, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. It is also possible to take advantage of teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

Taking too much of the medicine may increase the risk of bleeding. The drug may cause, for example, bleeding into the brain.
The risk of a stroke or stroke is determined by many factors. The risk of stroke is increased by, for example, smoking cigarettes or excessive body weight. If you are concerned about the possibility of a stroke, I encourage you to consult your doctor.
Any medicine you use can cause side effects. This does not mean that every patient will experience them. We wrote more about whether to be afraid of adverse drug reactions in the article:

The leaflet of each medicine contains a description of the side effects that occur along with their frequency.
