Question

A good answer

2.5 mg twice a day since March 6, 2025. There are two Eliquis records; the 5 mg one is not marked as stopped but only gives its start in 2022, and the 2.5 mg record, the visit record of that day and the September 2026 label all give 2.5.

Traps it covers

near_duplicate Two Eliquis records, 5 mg and 2.5 mg. The 5 mg one is not marked as stopped; it only says when it started. The 2.5 mg record, a note, a visit record, the label and the receipt show 2.5 mg is the dose since March 6, 2025. Trazodone is likewise not marked as stopped; the visit record of May 9, 2023 says it was.
