yes.
if clexane is the only anticoagulant you are on- you do need to continue the injections until you get back from holidays and discuss about going on oral medications (DOACS- direct acting oral anticoagulants) will be better. I will recommend Apixaban- but this needs to be discussed with your cardiologist/ family physician.
please persevere with cjexabe for now- rotate injection site to avoid bleeding on the site or even abscess formation.
