I am 75 years old. I have a pace maker and I m on warferin. In one weeks time I m to have a knee replacement operation. I will stop my warferin 7 days prior. Do I need to take clexane before the operation? I know I will take it after. I m worried about being covered during the operation.
Hi, Clean stops formation of new blood clots&also stops growth of already formed blood clot, but it does not break down already formed clots and this helps in wound healing. So starting the Chat Doctor. .& that's why it is started after optimum time of surgery. Please don't worry about it. Have faith in treating surgeon. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
