Patient's question:
My friend has undergone thrombolysis for pulmonary embolism and has been quite serious. He was just treated a few days ago, and now he is in the recovery phase. After thrombolysis for pulmonary embolism, what other medications are needed to maintain the treatment? Will using other medications help the body recover faster and more completely? If so, he would be willing to try.Doctor's answer:
If there is a pulmonary embolism, timely treatment is required, as this disease is life-threatening. In most cases, after the condition is controlled, anticoagulant drugs are also needed for treatment. The preferred medication is usually warfarin. During oral medication, blood tests should be conducted periodically to prevent the risk of bruising. Medication use should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
