Should not: For acute DVT there are evidence based treatment scenarios that have good outcomes in general.

DVT AND MEDS: DVT needs to be treated with anticoagulation medications and these are all prescribed in a specific dose and for a specific amount of time and some monitoring is required (some more than others). Non prescribed and non MD supervised medications wound not be advised and could be potentially life threatening.
