A member asked:
Is apixaban nephrotixic what is the dose if serum creatinine is1.7 in 72 yr hypertensive male with paroxysmal afib & if so what is the alternative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask prescribing doc: What is his current dose of apixaban? At 5 mg or 2.5 mg twice by mouth daily? For his reported conditions, 2.5 mg twice by mouth daily would be adequate. Of course, always be followed and monitored closely. Before starting a change in its use, always ask the prescribing doctor - not one online since the prescribing knows more about him than anyone online.
