Gum bleeding or bleeding from phlebotomy is not observed with recommended dose of eliquis when used for thrombophylaxis. INR, PT, PTT are not affected by eliquis. Your eliquis should work and in contrast you should pay concern when you have abnormal bleeding such as gum bleeding or prolonged bleeding after a small cut or phlebotomy.
