Hi
Heptral is not used for the treatment of portal vein thrombosis. Rather it is used widely for the treatment of fatty liver disease secondary to alcohol intake. For portal hain thrombosis, anticoagulant therapy is needed for which you require hospital admission. Consult a medical specialist in some hospital for admission & treatment.
Thank you
