Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
so you would not recommend taking Aspirin as replacement for warfarin if you have protein S deficiency, laden 5 factor? what is there besides warfarin, that s safe and are there any studies or labs working on other ways to combat the clots? Gene technology or maybe stem cells that can target the deficiency?
Aspirin is not a effective alternative to warfarin, especially if you have Protein S deficiency/ Factor 5 Leiden. Alternativeto warfarin is Revaroxaban, which can be taken without monitoring PT/INR. Other option is to continue on Inj. Enoxaparin subcutaneously.
At present there is no gene therapy or stem cell therapy available to combat clots.
With regards,
Dr. Girish Kamat
