Topic: Eliquis

President Joe Biden completed his first full day of Paxlovid treatment after experiencing a mild fever of 99.4 degrees and a loose cough. Medical reports indicate his vitals remain normal on room air, though his regular medications, Eliquis and Crestor, have been temporarily suspended. Concerns are raised regarding the risks of stopping powerful blood thinners like Eliquis suddenly, even when replaced by low-dose aspirin.

The hosts analyze a commercial for the blood thinner Eliquis, which uses the slogan "up my game." They mock the pharmaceutical marketing that frames taking a drug for atrial fibrillation as a competitive lifestyle choice. The ad's warnings about "fatal bleeding" and the inability to stop bleeding once started are highlighted as particularly grim.
