Can I take 2.5mg and Fexofenadine together?

Why this happens

Apixaban is a blood thinner (anticoagulant) that works on specific clotting factors in the blood. Fexofenadine is a non-drowsy antihistamine used for allergies. They are processed by different pathways in the body and do not interfere with how the other works. Unlike some older antihistamines, fexofenadine does not typically cause drowsiness, so it does not add to any side effects.

You can take these medicines together as prescribed. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging. If you notice any unusual bruising or bleeding while taking Eliquis, you should contact your doctor, though this would not be caused by the fexofenadine.
