Frequently Asked Questions
Is generic apixaban the same as Eliquis?
Yes — generic apixaban is FDA-approved as bioequivalent to brand Eliquis. It became available in the US in 2023 and typically costs $100–$150/month versus $500+ for brand.
How does apixaban compare to rivaroxaban?
Both are DOACs that require no routine blood monitoring. Apixaban is twice-daily; rivaroxaban is once-daily. Studies suggest apixaban may have a slightly lower bleeding risk, but your cardiologist decides.
Is warfarin a reasonable alternative to apixaban?
Warfarin costs under $15/month but requires regular INR blood tests and dietary restrictions. DOACs like apixaban are preferred for most patients who can afford them.
Can Script Unlock help lower my apixaban cost?
Yes. Script Unlock pharmacies compete on generic apixaban pricing. Many offer cash prices below standard GoodRx rates — worth posting your script to compare.
Can I stop taking apixaban on my own to save money?
Never stop anticoagulation therapy without your doctor's approval — stopping abruptly can cause stroke or blood clots. If cost is a barrier, Script Unlock can help find more affordable options.
