Keep moving: There are few drugs that actually prevent dvt. The best thing is to avoid sitting for long periods such as a plane ride or car ride without moving. Stop the car and walk around every 2 hours or so. Get up in an airplane and move around or use the bathroom every few hours.

There are many: Aspirin helps some . More potent blood thinner like Coumadin (warfarin) / Pradaxa / elequis ECT are used for higher risk individuals, but they also have higher risk of bleeding . Please discuss your concerns with your doctor.

Dvt: There are no drugs used to avoid any deep vein thrombosis. Perhaps a baby aspirin prior to airplane trip may be of benefit, however at age 36 I would not recommend that this be use on a daily basis. The most important protector against deep vein thrombosis is being active, drinking plenty of fluids daily, and not sitting for prolonged periods of time.
