Medication
History
  • RA was diagnosed with a symptomatic DVT 8 years ago while attending college. At that point she was taken off of her oral contraceptives and treated with “some kind of shot” and warfarin for 6 months. She reports that the warfarin made her nauseated but she “knows she is not allergic.”
  • Last year, she moved to New York City and she admits that she did not tell her new OB/GYN about her DVT because she wanted to start birth control again. She also binge drinks at weekend parties, and takes Blowfish (Aspirin and Caffeine) for her hangovers at least once a week.
Compliance/dosing issue: none
