A member asked:
What would happen if one experience a neck injury while on eliquis? would it cause a neck bleed? or a brain bleed??

Depends on details, as mild injuries are not likely to result in significant bleeds, otherwise bleed always possible with and without Eliquis.

Eliquis does not cause bleeding, but if a blood vessel is lacerated or ruptured, the bleeding will be far more vigorous, and clotting delayed.
