Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
Read and reviewed your query facts, in context to your health issues and your worries.
Your concern is why You should Take up these Medicines?
Dear, the anti-clotting medicines are given usually when the clot in legs are caused with Deep Vein Thrombosis. These are the clots which by their origin are prone to increase and spread to higher levels and prone to detach due to highly active area of their location. Hence such clots are more prone to cause thrombo-embolism to distant sites as kidney/ heart/brain/ lungs and are at risks to create more dangerous complications from it.
Though the body has its own dissolving system,the clot dissolution/ or recovery power is overpowered by the high clot forming rate.So this clot in the leg is the result of this imbalance.
-These anti clotting medicines are given to help your body's anti clotting mechanism
These anti clotting medicines are given to support the body's anti-clotting system,so that you are not put at risk from these leg clots
-You can be off these medicines ones your leg clot gets dissolved.
You are not on these life long. You can reduce them once the clot in legs gets dissolved and you get out of danger.
-Conclusion and Suggestion-
In view of the above safety reasons, You are suggested to meticulously follow the Xarelto- treatment dosages, which contains Rivaroxaban- a nice drug to treat this condition.
But this needs lot of care and cover from expert doctors for 3-6 months time, as its a drug and need to watch for its side effects to be controlled before they are detected in you.
-So as You have Once Started it, So you have to stop only with advise from expert doctors ONLY.
Hope this would enlighten you to resolve your responsibility and need to act with care to cure your delicate condition of clot in left lower leg.
