Suggest Alternative Medication In Place Of Warfarin

I have been out of warfarin for 2 days and have been trying to get a new PcP but they don t have appts for weeks, so I have Ben unable to get a refill. I recently found that my clot (in the main artery right leg) has hardened. What do I do until I can get a new prescription?

Hi,

Your concern is regarding alternate drug to Warfarin. So you can use higher group of drug as compare to Warfarin like Apaxiban, Rivaroxaban and Dabigatran. However, you need a prescription to get such medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
