[QUOTE="briped, post: 1785089, member: 472718"] Thanks Rachox, just to make sure I'll give the duty doc a call tonight, and ask his/her opinion, but the reason I'm hesitant is that I'm already on lifelong treatment on this drug, and last time I was told there's not much else they can do : "Rivaroxaban is a medication recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as a possible treatment for adults with DVT, or to help prevent recurrent DVT and pulmonary embolism. Rivaroxaban comes in tablet form. It's a type of anticoagulant known as a directly acting oral anticoagulant (DOAC). It prevents blood clots forming by inhibiting a substance called factor Xa and restricting the formation of thrombin (an enzyme that helps blood clot). Treatment usually lasts 3 months and involves taking rivaroxaban twice a day for the first 21 days and then once a day until the end of the course. Read the NICE guidance about [URL='http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/TA261/chapter/1-Guidance']rivaroxaban for the treatment and prevention of recurrent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism[/URL]." Reading this made me blame myself less: "If you have had DVT, you should not be offered special stockings, called compression stockings, to stop you getting it again or to stop you from getting [URL='https://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Deep-vein-thrombosis/Pages/Complications.aspx#post-thrombotic%20syndrome']post-thrombotic syndrome[/URL]. This is because it isn't clear if stockings help prevent these conditions." What a relief. I am taking it seriously, but am a little too worried about being a nuisance. [/QUOTE]
