If your PT (prothrombin time) is not stable while taking Acitrom for DVT, it means your blood thinning is not consistent, which can be risky. Do not adjust the dose yourself. Contact your doctor; they may need to adjust your dose, repeat tests more often, or check for interactions with other medicines or foods. Regular monitoring is very important to prevent complications like clotting or bleeding.

  4. Lifestyle and Medication Management

    • Maintain a consistent diet and inform your doctor about any new medications or health changes.

  5. When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention

    • Watch for signs of bleeding or clotting complications and seek urgent care if they occur.
