Oral Anticoagulants To Restrict Travel
“Relying on Santorum does not make me any grace, because I love to travel and I think it limited me a lot.” It is the testimony of a woman that we wanted to highlight. To reassure travelers and adventurers sintroneros and propose some solutions to alleviate their concerns.
First, it is well accepted that being on oral anticoagulant therapy is to limit their travel. But why we must stop them. In fact, if people know very entrepreneurial in this sense that, with knowledge and common sense, that is, a conscious and responsible attitude of what constitutes treatment; make long journeys, even to distant countries.
But yes, plan the trip well and talk about it with your doctor to determine if your plans involve some risk that you had not contemplated.
In terms of INR control, it is clear that if self-control and autodosificación treatment, that is, if you have a portable coagulometer for testing, everything is easier, more comfortable and safer. For starters, it can travel without the fear of not detect alterations in INR due to a change of diet, diarrhea (frequent in summer and when changing water. Therefore we recommend try to drink bottled water, etc.).
You know that self-measurement of INR and dose adjustments are common: once a week if a patient of Medical Monitor.
If not, and make their checks once a month at a health center or hospital, ask your doctor for a check schedule as close as possible to the departure date.
Once we have ensured that everything is in order, there is a basic thing to keep in mind: to take all necessary medication for the trip.
And check the suitcase, if you lose (you never know, and in summer, air-traffic). Sufficient doses are recommended for every day of the trip, if the destination cannot find your drug.
In the same way, and this is a safety issue, indicate otherwise in your personal documents, and in a conspicuous place, which is on oral anticoagulant therapy if, in case of accident, had to be subjected to surgery emergency. If traveling outside of Spain, indicate that on most international language, it is clear that is English.
In his case it does not hurt to bring necessary equipment or a small first aid kit to treat a small wound or an insect bite. So far, nothing other than a person who does not take Santorum? Normal mosquito bite does not cause, in principle, any extra inconvenience to people who follow an oral anticoagulant treatment. And what happens to small wounds that bleed is that as the blood takes longer to clot, should be helped by pressure in the area, this coagulation.
If traveling by plane, and takes a few hours, it is important to try to stay active, move your legs from time to time. If you travel by car, stop occasionally to do the same. Make regular stops when making long journeys in cars is a security measure that no one should skip. In summer, especially after meals, when the high temperature pressing, are mandatory for the driver to avoid states of drowsiness. So take the journey still, and if you co-pilot instructed in this regard to the person driving the vehicle to perform a walk from time to time.
