What do you advise if i'm currently on warfarin for a blood clot disorder. anyone know about the progress on replacements?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Novel anticoagulants: There have been 3 "warfarin substitutes" since 2010 that have FDA approval for venous thromboembolism prevention, treatment of venous thromboembolism, or stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation . They include the oral direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran, and the oral direct factor Xa inhibitors rivaroxaban and apixaban. All agents have predictable pharmacokinetic profiles and do not require monitoring
