A member asked:
How do doctors determine when to use warfarin, heparin, or aspirin for the treatment of antiphospholipid syndrome? and how long it should be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
APS: The type of anticoagulation is dependent on the severity of APS. Aspirin for all who can take it. Warfarin for recurrent DVT, stroke, thromboembolism episodes. Heparin during pregnancy and as a bridge.
