Dilemma
Posted , 7 users are following.
Since having my surgery on the 17th of July I have to take apixoban blood thinners twice daily. Today my G.P prescibed flucloxacillin antibiotics for a possible u.t.i. When I read the leaflet I noticed that these may cause problems. I forgot to mention to my G.P about the blood thinners. The surgery is closed now and all day tomorrow.

If you can't get ahold of a medical professional soon, you might want to go to drugs . com to check for interactions between prescription medications. I left spaces so that the link will not be blocked. Check the page for one of your medications and there will be a section about Drug Interactions where you can check the other med to see if there might be problems.

if you consult the The out of hours service and discuss the information in the leaflet you should get far more information, then contact the surgery when it reopens
