I have stopped takig Warfarin and am now taking Apixaban- one of the new anticoagulants.

    Yes, various sites for Apixaban quote carrying an alert card which should be issued to you by your anticoagulant clinic/whoever is prescribing the Apixaban.

    I got a rubber wrist band from amazon, for the other anticoagulant Rivaroxaban

    have a look there.
