The Aristotle clinical study distorted safety data to suggest that Eliquis is not as secure as the manufacturers want the public to believe and fell short of proving that the drug was less dangerous than Warfarin.

As a top-selling drug worldwide, Pfizer and Bristol Myers Squibb's Eliquis is a major target for generic players looking to steal branded sales. But with a new court win, the partners are set for many more years of exclusivity in the lucrative U.S. market.

Serious Eliquis side effects include:

• Joint pain or swelling.
• Heavy vaginal bleeding.
• Red or black, tarry stools.
• Red, pink or brown urine.
• Swelling of the face or tongue.
• Severe or uncontrollable bleeding from an injury.
• Coughing up or vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds.
• Chest pain or tightness.

Long-term side effects of Eliquis Eliquis is unlikely to cause long-term side effects. However, if you have a spinal procedure such as a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) or epidural injection while taking Eliquis, it could cause a spinal or epidural hematoma (blood clot in your spine).

Common Eliquis side effects include nosebleeds, bleeding gums, bruising easily and bleeding that takes longer to stop. Internal bleeding is a rare serious side effect. Stopping Eliquis suddenly may increase the risk of blood clots.

About the Bristol-Myers Squibb/Pfizer Collaboration In 2007, Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb entered into a worldwide collaboration to develop and commercialize ELIQUIS, an investigational oral anticoagulant discovered by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

ELIQUIS can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. This is because ELIQUIS is a blood thinner medicine that reduces blood clotting. While taking ELIQUIS, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop.
