According to the information provided by the manufacturer, Eliquis should be discontinued at least 24 hours before planned surgery or other invasive procedure with a low risk of bleeding or at least 48 hours before planned surgery or other invasive procedure with a high risk of bleeding. The decision on whether to temporarily stop treatment should be made after consultation with a doctor. After possible discontinuation of the drug, therapy should be resumed as soon as possible. If it is not possible to consult stationary, I encourage you to use the teleadvice offered, m.in. by the Gdziepolek.pl portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I enclose a link to check the availability of Eliquis and make a reservation at the selected pharmacy: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/26713/eliquis-tabletki-powlekane/apteki The manufacturer does not indicate the need to discontinue Polfilin prolongatum before surgery. I encourage you to consult your doctor in advance to determine the right procedure for your mother.
