32 y/o m w/ anti-phospholipid sx w/ normal spep & b2-microglobulin, & w/ lle dvt >6 mo ago not resolved, on asa, is xarelto ok over warfarin for prev?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: in fact rapidly becoming the drug of choice since no special dietary prohibitions and NO TESTING! Sounds like Hypercoagulable state ruled out and 6 months of treatment is present recommendation. If the DVT is COMPLETELY UNEXPLAINED many experts now recommending LIFETIME TREATMENT if Pulmonary Embolus occurred !
