  1. I posted a few days ago about the report of a new drug that will be on
    the market quite soon. In the UK it will called Exanta (can't remember
    the chemical name). Maybe people thought I was selling something.
    Anyway, spoke to the pharmacist today at the anticoagulant clinic and
    she told me that she expects it will tried first on people who develop
    DVTs after joint replacements. It will be taken twice a day but with
    no need for testing. It will be great if they offer it to people with
    AF or replacement valves. Just thought all those taking Warfarin
    might have been interested. Diana

  2. I read that the new thinner will not be for those who have artificial
    valves and some other conditions. The new drug is not without its
    problems. I will wait to see and will not plan to use it for at least a
    year after it becomes available.

  3. Herb,

    My sister, a MD, said the same thing - she'll wait awhile before switching.
