Medications for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are used to treat and prevent unwanted blood clots, prevent strokes, and manage atrial fibrillation. They work by thinning your blood to prevent clots from forming or getting bigger. Common classes include anticoagulants and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Anticoagulants like warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven) are usually taken as oral pills, while enoxaparin (Lovenox) is an injectable option. DOACs, such as apixaban (Eliquis) and rivaroxaban (Xarelto), are typically taken as oral pills. These medications come in different forms to help manage your condition effectively.
