Had DVT, Incompetent Valves In Same Leg. How Long Before Taking Clexane Should I Stop Taking Cartier.
I had a DVT forty eight years ago and I now have very incompetent valves in the same leg. I take 1 Cartier tablet daily and I am about to take a 24 hour flight. My doctor has said to inject Clexane before flying and for two days after arriving. I am wondering how long before taking Clexane should I stop taking Cartier.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
You should stop taking Cartier one day before injecting Clexane. This also depends on your coagulation profile. Do consult your physician before resuming Cartier.
