You’re completely out of your element on anything childcare related too but that didn’t stop you from talking about your daughter getting cream pied.

I am not a doctor but this drug is considered a generic of eloqius which is often used interchangeably with xarelto. I am not a doctor. But your doctor might not know this - now off patent less than one month. But if you doctor says no, for Gods sake don't listen to an idio like me. Good luck, hope I helped!

Ummm, not exactly. There might be a reason he’s on an ARB and not a Beta Blocker.
Another example is the rivaroxaban vs warfarin question. We don't know the patient's history he may have diabetes so the doc might be concerned about the potential for increased kidney issues with warfarin.
Some doctors just generally prescribe the latest generation of drugs without regard to costs. This appears to be a situation where the patient and their most capable advocate within their family and friend group needs to have a frank discussion with the prescribing physician regarding the meds vs costs. There certainly may be leeway with the drug choices then again the physician may not feel that way based on numerous things not presented here.

xarelto entresto trelegy
Need to ask his MD to try and substitute cheaper meds. Coumadin can likely be swapped for Xarelto, depending on his medical history. Entresto is a combo med of two drugs for heart failure, but he may be able to put him on two separate meds that are much cheaper. His inhaler for COPD may also be able to be swapped for a cheaper option.
Too many MD’s like writing for the newest meds without thinking of the patients financial situation.

If he has Medicare parts A and B tell him to call a licensed sales agent in your state authorized to sell different plans and they can compare the networks and formularies to give him the best recommendation. Unfortunately though, unless he is eligible for a special enrollment period, he will have to wait until open enrollment to enroll.
