Hello, good people. My neighbor was diagnosed deep vein thrombosis of legs. She takes her medications that prevent thrombosis regularly. I wonder for how long you can take these medications. I would really appreciate if anyone could reply me to this question. Thank you in advance for all your help. Bye!

Hello. Medications that prevent thrombosis are also known as anticoagulants. One should take these meds strictly like doctors ordered him. You shouldn’t take more or less. From time to time, a patient is going to the thrombus test. One of the most common side effects is bleeding. Elderly people are especially sensitive to this. Your neighbor should consult with his doctor anyway. I hope everything will be all right. Bye!
