Brief Answer:
please check if you are sure of this!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

No one will prescribe a drug that causes the blood to clot. We always prescribe drugs that prevent clotting. Please, check and make sure you are certain of this and get back to me. My strongest believe is that you might have gotten it wrong that it is a drug to make the blood clot. This will be a catastrophe.

I hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience. I wil respond promptly.

Brief Answer:
There are no natural drugs for this!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and sorry for the late response.

There are no natural foods to prevent blood clots. There is a risk of blood clots while on tamoxifene but it is not for sure that this is going to happen. Your doctors will evaluate the risk and if need be, they will prescribe medications to prevent blood from clotting. This way, we know how much we are giving and can better control any further issues.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Let me know how well this fits with your plans. Until next, i wish you well.
