Are Oral Anticoagulants Or Clexane Drugs Effective For Thrombophilia?
hello,i have thrombophilia that includes mthfr gene heterozygous, pai1 gene 4g/5g homozygous and seronegative antiphospholopidic sindrom. I take clexane for six months and now my doctors needs to put me on oral anticoaglants. Please tell which is the most adecvate one, because on sintrom my thrombosis extended.thank you
sintrom and clexane are considered equally efficient in preventing thrombosis. Sintrom is usually preferred mostly because clexane is much more expensive. Clexane is easier to use (if you don't mind the injections) because it has a stable effect on coagulation. Sintrom's effectiveness may vary depending on very many factors and needs close monitoring of the INR. If your INR drops below target levels, you're in danger of thrombosis. If your INR gets very high (particularly if >4-5) then you're in danger for bleeding. Sintrom - when monitored - is usually safe enough. You haven't mentioned your sex. Females that may become pregnant should avoid sintrom. If you've got antiphospholipid syndrome then perhaps you should discuss with your treating physician about aspirin too! I hope I've helped! If you'd like more information, please let me know!
