I have the blood clotting condition factor 5. I am flying for 8hrs Sydney to Honolulu. other relations with same condition have previously been prescribed clexane when flying and the dosage has been 24 hrs before and after flight. my doctor has said 2 hours before I fly and after I arrive. The doctor appeared unfamiliar with the implications of factor 5. i have purchased compression stockings. I am a healthy 19 year female. what dosage schedule would you recommend?
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your question and understand your concerns. In clean should be taken actually according to weight and kidney conditions. Presuming you have normal kidney function and average weight you can take 0.4ml dosage of clean subcutaneously just 2 hrs before flight. Avoid prolonged sitting in flight, walk for a while every hour to avoid risk of clotting. Thank you. Have a nice day.
