Drugs: Thrombosis
February 15th, 2021
Overview
Medications Associated with Thrombosis
- Hormonal therapies - oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, SERMs
- COX-2 inhibitors - celecoxib
- Erythropoietin
- Warfarin (initially)
Pearls
- Warfarin is initially procoagulant in the first few days of its use, due to its inhibition of natural anticoagulants protein C and protein S.
- Though tranexamic acid is a procoagulant, there is very little evidence that it increases thrombosis risk in a statistically significant way.
