HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different side effects of medication, if you are on a medication that causes blood clots like a hormonal medication then it may be related.

Most medications are not associated with clotting but everyone reacts differently to medication.

A blood disorder can also increase the risk of clotting.

I hope this helps
