Detailed Answer:
Hi Jigzimmerman,
Thanks for the query. I have read &understood your concern.
Deep vein thrombosis after being diagnose takes about 3 & a half months to heal .. you might get mild pain till then. . After this you would be investigated to confirm healing &exclude possibility of recurrence &then the drug can be withdrawn.
During this period you have to be-
- In touch with treating doctor & follow blood clotting tests instructions given(as Eliquis is a blood thinner.
* Watch out for excessive bleeding &report to doctor if you have it... also report immediately there is painful &swollen knot that has shifted up from original pain site(to rule out possibility of thrombophlebitis)
- watch out for painful_tender vein on leg
- watch out for sudden breathing trouble,dizziness
*Take medicines strictly as advised.
see the doctor earliest.. with any of the adverse signs mentioned.
I hope that answers your query. Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.
