Blood thinners (anticoagulants): These medications help prevent existing clots from growing larger and reduce the risk of new clots forming. They can be administered orally, through an IV, or via injection. Regular blood tests are needed for certain medications like warfarin, and some blood thinners may not be suitable during pregnancy.
Clot busters (thrombolytics): Typically reserved for more serious cases of DVT or pulmonary embolism, especially when other treatments are ineffective. These medications are delivered directly to the clot through a catheter. While effective, they carry a higher risk of bleeding and are used cautiously.
Filters: In cases where blood thinners aren’t a suitable option, a filter may be placed in the vena cava to prevent clots from reaching the lungs. This approach provides an added layer of protection against potentially life-threatening complications.
Compression stockings: Wearing these specially designed knee-high socks helps reduce swelling and prevent blood from pooling in the legs. They are often recommended for daily use over several years to enhance blood flow and support recovery.
