Brief Answer:
you can't do anything about that...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

xarelto helps to reduce the risk for clot propagation but it cannot and will not make the clot dissolve. The clot may only dissolve with time (if it will). So the answer to your question is that there is no drug to help with that.

Kind Regards!

What is Protein S and what foods have it in them

Answered by Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis (14 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
It's an anticoagulant

Detailed Answer:
Protein S is synthesized in the liver. Its production depends on vitamin K. You don't get protein S from food, only the liver can make it.

Protein S works as an anticoagulant by inactivating previously activated coagulation factors. Protein S prevents clot formation.

Kind Regards!
