There is an Integrated Care Board (ICB) initiative to gradually change suitable patients with Atrial fibrillation on a DOAC anticoagulant to the first line DOAC Edoxaban. Your Apixiban/Rivaroxaban should be stopped before the Edoxaban is started and not be taken on the same day. If a clinician believes that this is appropriate for your health care they will discuss this with you and you will receive a text with the following leaflet attached to the text.
