Anticoagulant Medications
Protect Yourself From Blood Clots
When your body gets injured, blood clots form naturally to help heal the site of the injury. However, sometimes blood clots do not work the way they are supposed to. If a blood clot doesn’t stay at the site of injury or if it forms in your bloodstream, it can cause dangerous and even deadly events. Our medical professionals at California Vein & Vascular Centers can treat blood clots by prescribing anticoagulant medications. In Los Altos, CA, you can take action to protect yourself from the dangerous side effects of blood clots when you meet with our professionals. Our team will evaluate you to determine your risk of blood clots, and then we will take the necessary action to stop them from occurring.
What Are Anticoagulant Medications?
Anticoagulant medications are prescribed to reduce your blood’s natural ability to clot easily. These medications allow your body to break down any existing clots and reduce the likelihood of new clots forming. We prescribe these medications to those who are at risk of developing potentially life-threatening conditions that could lead to dangerous events. Blood clot blockages can lead to strokes, pulmonary embolisms, and heart attacks. To prevent these events from occurring, you may need to take anticoagulant medications if you are living with or have experienced any of the following circumstances:
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Heart Valve Surgery or Replacement
- Hip or Knee Replacement
- Blood Clotting Disorders
