Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) / Blood Clots

This summary is based on posts and comments shared on Reddit.Disclaimer

Based on the provided Reddit data, there is limited discussion specifically about Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or blood clots as a direct side effect of GLP-1 medications. However, one user, likely a medical professional, reported a severe case involving a thrombus (blood clot) linked to side effects of Ozempic.

Experiences with Blood Clots:

  • One user described a patient who experienced a Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) after a dose change of Ozempic. The user stated, "NSTEMI. Dose change of ozempic caused severe vomiting and diarrhea that led to dehydration. Had chest pain, young and no risk factors. Trops came back significantly elevated with increasing serial trops, so cards took them to the cath lab and found a thrombus in their LAD. Their dehydration was so significant, and they became so severely hemoconcentrated that they coagulated their LAD. "[1] In this case, the blood clot was in the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery of the heart and was attributed to severe dehydration and hemoconcentration resulting from vomiting and diarrhea, which are known side effects of GLP-1 medications.


Remedies or Preventions Recommended:

  • The user who reported the case of the thrombus did not explicitly recommend specific remedies or preventions in their comment. [1] However, the described cause of the thrombus—severe dehydration leading to hemoconcentration—strongly implies that managing side effects such as severe vomiting and diarrhea, and ensuring adequate hydration, would be crucial preventative measures. No other remedies or preventions for DVT/blood clots related to GLP-1s were mentioned in the provided data.
