Be Ready to Handle Rxs for Direct Oral Anticoagulants for Cancer Patients
Some patients with cancer will get a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC), such as Xarelto or Lixiana, for a blood clot.
Patients with cancer tend to be at higher risk of blood clots compared to noncancer patients.
Injectable low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH), such as dalteparin (Fragmin) or enoxaparin (Lovenox), are usually the go-to blood thinners to treat blood clots in patients with cancer.
