it is Eliquis. I was paying big bucks through Expresscripts. My druggist set me up through the company that makes Eliquis. I pay 10 dollars for a 30 day supply, that's 60 pills, 5 mg. Get you family doctor to prescribe the Eliquis (not through your cardiologist) go through the 340B program. My pharmacist filled out the paperwork, I am good at this price for 2 years, then after 2 years all I have to do is make a phone call and I am good for 2 more years.

I messed around with A-fib for 9 years until I found a fantastic surgeon at UPMC, Pittsburgh. He did an ablation, froze the bad electrical signal and I have been rid of A-fib for 4 years. If it does come back he said he will just go back in and do another type ablation. It is out-patient, just a catheter up the groin.
