What causes itchy welts all over the body while on Eliquis?
Patient: My husband has been taking Eliquis for 2 years..(for all the right reasons)! Suddenly he has a rash although I cannot call it a rash..It looks like welts.. The itching is agonizing..He just came from the dermatologist who is baffled.. Tomorrow I will call out cardiologist.We are all puzzled..before the welts came out it itched all over his body.. He is ingesting NOTHING new..No new laundry products...etc. etc.. If you would like a picture of what they look like I can cell it to some cell phone!! What do you people at Eliquis think????How do U send you this message?? Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicIt is possible to have an allergic reaction to eliquis like any medication or supplement.This means that is no other cause is found and there are no other medications that he is taking that may be responsible, it may be the eliquis causing the problem.He may need blood tests to correctly determine the cause of the rashI hope this helps
