Is it safe to fly with DVT if on the correct medication(my flight is 2hrs)?

Question:

Answers:
Since DVT occurs when a thrombus (blood clot) forms in one of the large veins, usually in the lower limbs, leading to either partially or completely blocked circulation. The condition may result in health complications, such as a pulmonary embolism (PE) and even death if not diagnosed and treated effectively.

This is a question that you really need to ask your Doctor before even considering flying.

Other Answers:
check with doc. if you take your med as prescribed, and your blood checks are in the therapeutic range, he might say it's safe, but try to get up and walk around if possible.
