A member asked:

If a motocross athlete recently had a bad crash & is on blood thinners for a brain veneal blood clot whats a rough duration that they would be on them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: It is not a do it yourself issue. The doctor who prescribed the blood thinner should be the one to determine how long to continue.
