"I was on Arixtra for 2 years after failing Lovenox and Eloquis. When I paid for my own insurance ($1,600 a month), my insurance covered it. But now that I am disabled and on Medicare, my copay is $630 a month. They put me on warfarin and they can’t stabilize. Makes me feel sick. Tightening to get back on Arixtra, it worked great for me."

"Using this drug for over 2 years after bilateral DVT and PE with HITT. No need to worry about foods I eat and worries about clotting times. Wish it was a pill versus an injection. Happy it has kept me stable."

"I have been on Arixtra for 4 years now and am in law school. I had tried all the other medications for DVTs and pulmonary embolism, which I have had both, and this is the only one that allows me to have a normal life."
