I take @Eliquis -- it's protocol if you have A Fib. I'm on it for life -- unless research comes up with a better drug in the future

I take the same blood thinner, if I cut my self it bleeds for ages as the med stops it clotting, so it's working fine.

Clobidogrel for life. I don't bother though if it's keeping me living. I thank the scientists for research and development.
