After a DVT, Warf 2 is typically taken for 6-12 months, though some patients may need more extended or lifelong therapy depending on risk factors. Regular follow-up with your doctor and INR monitoring are important to decide the safe duration and prevent complications.

Managing Discomfort or Side Effects:
- Report any unusual bleeding, bruising, or skin rashes to your doctor immediately. Adjustments may be needed.
Consultation:
