Thromboembolic Stroke Prophylaxis
"My 83 yo father was in danger of losing his life. Has Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator  (ICD), stomach problems and prostate cancer in past. He had developed a Blood clot behind ICD.
He deteriorated within 3 days of taking this drug, couldn&#039;t walk and bleeding out through back passage, kidneys and we don&#039;t know where else as still waiting for test results. His lactate levels 7.3 on admittance to hospital; a sustained 5 has a survival rate of only 11% so dad lucky thus far.
He has received 4 units of blood, oxygen, saline solution to try to flush it out. 
This medication must be administered with caution, looking at previous conditions and closely monitored. My dad deteriorated within 72 of starting it. The external symptoms are: listlessness, waxy skin, breathing difficulties, paralysis of lower limbs."
