Alternatives

•  Anticoagulants, commonly known as blood thinners, are medications that help prevent the formation of new clots and stop existing clots from growing:

•  Heparin: This is often used in acute settings for immediate anticoagulation.

• Warfarin: This oral anticoagulant is used for long-term management, especially in conditions like atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism.

• Compression Stockings: Specially designed stockings apply pressure to the lower extremities to improve venous return and reduce swelling, thereby decreasing the risk of clot development
