Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a healthy 76 yr. old female who had DVT and PE after flight to Europe 2 years ago. Off xarelto now and on baby aspirin...Heading to Spain May 1st...dr. thinks full aspirin and compression stockings should work..I am also back to fish oil capsules, which I was not taking when DVT happened....do you agree with this regime? thanks
For this how long you have taken rivaroxaban (xarelto)???
This drug is gold standard in DVT prophylaxis and depending on D dimer level and according to cause it's duration of treatment decided
Aspirin is anti platelet drug and also beneficial in preventing thrombosis
Your cause for dvt should be searched for esp I want to check anticardiolipin (for antiphospholipid syndrome), prothrombin gene mutation by PCR, factor v Leiden mutation, protein C and S deficiency
