Eliquis 2.5 mg twice daily with an aspirin for a clothing disorder. pt, ptt and inr were unaffected and within normal range (inr only 1.1). does eliquis have an affect on these labs or no affect ? what tests to monitor effectiveness?

By PDR. net: "due to the inhibition of factor Xa, apixaban (eliquis) administration at therapeutic doses results in PROLONGED clotting tests such as PT, INR, & aPTT. However, these prolonged clotting times are SMALL and subject to a HIGH DEGREE OF VARIABILITY & are not useful in monitoring the anticoagulation effect of apixaban". No, we don't have a practical way for monitoring dose effectiveness.
