Can I take 10 and Eliquis together?

Why this happens

Cannabis can interfere with the enzymes in your liver that break down Eliquis. This causes the level of Eliquis in your blood to rise higher than intended. Furthermore, cannabis may have its own mild blood-thinning effects, which adds to the effect of the medicine.

You should avoid using cannabis while taking Eliquis. If you have used both, watch for signs of bleeding such as red or dark urine, black tarry stools, coughing up blood, or severe bruising, and seek medical help immediately. Do not drive, as it is illegal to do so with any cannabis in your system.
