Hi,
It is not advisable to use Nattokinase or any other alternative medicine as the sole treatment for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT is a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention and treatment by a healthcare professional.
The standard treatment for DVT typically involves the use of blood-thinning medications, such as anticoagulants, to prevent the clot from growing or breaking off and causing a pulmonary embolism. These medications should be prescribed and monitored by a doctor, as they can have serious side effects and interactions with other medications.
While some studies have suggested that Nattokinase may have some anticoagulant effects, there is not enough evidence to support its use as a primary treatment for DVT. It is important to discuss any alternative or complementary treatments with your doctor before using them, as they may interact with other medications you are taking or have other potential risks or side effects.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
