Good Evening, Thanks for given info,Deep vein thrombosis Medication Management.... Heparin and warfarin are two types of anticoagulants that are used to treat DVT. Heparin is usually prescribed first because it works immediately to prevent further clotting. After this initial treatment, you may also need to take warfarin to prevent another blood clot forming. Exercise Your healthcare team will usually advise you to walk regularly. This can help prevent symptoms of DVT returning and may help to improve or prevent complications of DVT, such as post-thrombotic syndrome. Raising your leg You might be advised to raise your leg whenever you re resting. This helps to relieve the pressure in the veins of the calf and stops blood and fluid pooling in the calf itself. When raising your leg, make sure your foot is higher than your hip. This will help the returning blood flow from your calf. Putting a cushion underneath your leg while you re lying down should help raise your leg above the level of your hip. You can also slightly raise the end of your bed to ensure that your foot and calf are slightly higher than your hip. Thanks for consult. Regards, Dr,Naeem. MD
