A member asked:

Should covid-19 patients receive post-discharge thromboprophylaxis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Susan Rhoads answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Not routinely.: Thromboprophylaxis is given only with certain diseases or conditions. Having COVID-19 is not by itself a reason to get it, but depending on severity of the infection and complications that may have arisen from a severe infection, it may be indicated. Ask your doctor who is treating you about it.
