Hi M Am 56 & I Take A Low Dose

default
Posted on Thu, 29 Aug 2019
Question: Hi m am 56 & I take a low dose aspirin daily as I had a dvt in my calf after a 6hr flight 3 years ago and I'm also a type 2 diabetic . I went to a haemotologist back then and he told me to take a clexane injection before I fly when I travel again. I leave for Bali next week which is a 6hr flight. Do I stop the aspirin a few days before my trip or still keep taking it or do i just stop it on the day I take to injection. Am a bit unsure of what to do. Your advice will be much appreciated. Thank you
