Ten days after giving birth to my 1st baby I had a pulmonary embolism so had Clexane injections initially along with 6 months of warfarin tablets. I am scared of this happening again so this time I am wanting to have Clexane injections during the pregnancy to prevent. Does anyone know at what stage of pregnancy I am likely to start these injections?
6 months - after a year she is pregnant again (6 weeks) - she is on warfarin from when she is 16 (she was diagnose with antifosfolipied syndrome) and must used clexane every time she got pregnant - my question is, is this save to used this for the whole pregnancy and the growing baby and what bother me the most is that her feet is swolling and very painfull ( clexane 1 week using), can that be the injection ????? we know that the pregnancy is a high risk!
After leaving hospital on 5th Jan with the doctors permission I was allowed to fly on 10th Jan to stay with my friend in Mallorca as long as I had my INR checked on 16th Jan
My first visit to hospital in Spain was problematic because I had woken up that morning with bad cystitus and was peeing blood, when I told the Spanish doctor this he took me off the Warfarin and gave me 6 days of Clexane injections plus some antibiotics for the Cystitus.
9 Months ago I had a DVT, Which broke off and became a PE. The DVT was in my Left Knee, and after 3 months of using Warfarin and several Ultrasounds and VQ Scans Later I was diagnosed as Fine and no more need for the Warfarin.
I don't know about "normal," but if the regimen of warfarin and Plavix is working for you, then great. Your goal is to find something that works. Have you been tested for clotting disorders? Your story makes me wonder about that, especially if the stroke happened to be due to a clot.
- why a clot should form in my heart when the muscles were damaged six years back and considering that I am on aspirin+clopidogrel which too have anti clotting function.
- warfarin may be slightly better as compared to aspirin+ clopidogrel, but in my case with no AF, does it makes sense getting into this risky business of conatantly monitoring of INR and fear of bleeding.
- I have seen on net some other drugs in market which are equally good as warfarin with lower risk of bleeding.
My doctor described me a clexane 20 mlg everyday in my 2nd month in my pregancy for 1 month long. And he increased the dose into 40 mlg every day. Now I am in my week 36. And he told me I will take it till delivery and for 7 days after delivery. And he said I am taking clexane because of antibodies but I don't know the name of these antibodies or anything about analysis names.
So I need to know the reason to take clexane.
t answer your question but I had a PVI ablation for afib in February and have been on Warfarin for the past 2 months. When I went to get my initial IRN check, the nurse explained to me that there were different classes of drugs (I think 8) that worked on coagulation. Heparin was one, aspirin was another, then Coumadin/Warfarin, Plavix, etc. She explained that I had to be on the Warfarin and aspirin while healing because these were the drugs best suited to my condition.
According to his leaflet I should stop clexane by 12 weeks but I left the country when i was 11 weeks and cant see him anymore. I met my local consultant who advised me to stay on it through preg. I also took a 2nd opinion from a high risk preg consultant who said I can stop or continue! Drs can still change their prescriptions according to scans.
When were you off clexane?
Given that yesterday he said to not take the warfarin he was changing me from the genertic warfarin and putting me on the brand name of the med coumadin. Said some folks do not tolerate warfarin well but do well on coumadin and i am to start the coumadin today. I would be lying if i didn't say i am a bit gunshy at this point. This med has made me absolutely miserable and today is my 43rd bday...
continue warfarin therapy, withhold warfarin therapy for a period of time before and after the procedure, or temporarily withhold warfarin therapy and also provide a "heparin bridge" during the perioperative period. Which management option to follow is primarily determined by the characteristics of the patient and by the nature of the procedure.
This is really a question only your doctor/s can answer - they know your complete medical history, other meds and know the risks/benefits of either med. So please contact your doctor for their advice.
Best of luck!
heparin is used because it acts immediately. Warfarin might be given, but it takes a day or two to begin working.
But heparin is given by injection or instead usually by IV, so it's not practical except when the patient is in the hospital. Warfarin is oral.
IV is better because the dose that is delivered to the bloodstream is more sure. Injecting heparin into the body can results in variable dosing, depending on the nature of where the heparin is injected (e.g.
I am 27 weeks pregnancy and have dvt, start to using CLEXANE(ENOXAPARIN) I am really worried is there any harm to my baby
Thanks & Rgards
Has anyone on here had to inject clexane once a day during their pregnancy .... i have just come home from seeing my consultant at the hospital and she has told me she wants to put me on clexane because im at high risk of DVT and need to take blood thinners but i was just wondering if anyone else here had to do this and if it affected them in any way ....
my clinic is putting me on clexane injections with this cycle, just wandered if any one has had success by using this drug... and should i be taking baby asprin or steriods with it. all my other cycles failed...
Hello, I've got some funky bruising from taking clexane and my legs look like I'm a junky. Is it safe to use Arnica cream?
