: Eliquis does not affect the prothrombin time so it should be normal when taking Eliquis. It does not mean the Eliquis isn’t working. Good luck to you!

My Dr did a random routine blood test of Prothrombin Time and INR. My Prothrombin Time was 10.3 and INR was 0.9. I'm healthy in my 30s and not on any medications. Does my slow time mean I'm more prone to a stroke or a heart attack?
