A deep vein thrombosis is a clot that develops within a deep vein and can obstruct blood flow through the affected limb. Long-haul flights are one recognised trigger. The condition can be treated, and knowing the warning signs matters because a clot may reach the lungs.

Rivaroxaban is an anticoagulant in tablet form for deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and stroke prevention. You can choose from several strengths and pack sizes. Each option lists its price per tablet.
Swelling, warmth and an aching tightness can develop in the affected limb, and may be worse when standing or walking. Skin over the area may look red, or occasionally bluish. Anyone with swelling, pain, warmth or redness in a limb should see a doctor as soon as possible.
Anticoagulant medicines stop the clot growing and lower the risk of further clots. Warfarin, the long-standing oral option, needs regular blood tests so the dose can be adjusted; direct oral anticoagulants such as rivaroxaban are taken at a fixed dose without routine monitoring. Rivaroxaban tablets (Rivaroxaban) come in 10 mg, 15 mg and 20 mg strengths, and the same ingredient (rivaroxaban) is also used for pulmonary embolism and stroke prevention. Compression stockings may be advised to ease aching and swelling, and surgery to remove the clot is kept for severe cases. Treatment commonly runs for three to six months, longer where the cause or the clot severity calls for it. Orders are shipped to Malaysia from pharmacy partners in India in discreet packaging.
If part of the clot breaks away and travels to the lungs, it causes a pulmonary embolism, which can be life-threatening. Difficulty breathing, chest pain, coughing up blood or fainting all call for immediate medical help.
