Taking blood thinners is life threatening
Rugilė Pilvinienė, Senior Advisor to the Drug Surveillance and Poisoning Information Division of the State Medicines Control Agency (IARC), highlighted the danger of arbitrarily drinking blood thinners.
Interestingly, people do not recommend each other to take blood thinners for prophylaxis after all coronavirus vaccines; this is usually only after the Vaxzevria vaccine.

“I think if that really happens, then those people are risking their health and their lives. And, unpredictably, the use of blood thinners is a life-threatening phenomenon, if not prescribed by a doctor, or perhaps even prescribed by a doctor. Anticoagulants are used, as people say, to thin the blood, have very serious valid and validated therapeutic indications and should only be used when there is no other option.
When a person consumes them when they don’t need them, and even when they use them when they need them, the side effects associated with bleeding are likely to appear. And a person can die from the side effects associated with bleeding. And we really get such reports when people die bleeding after taking blood thinners, ”R. Pilvinienė said at a press conference last week.
According to IWT data, in just over three months of vaccination, more than 1.7 thousand reports of adverse reactions to vaccines.
Analgesics
The European Medicines Agency reported last week that “unusual blood clots with a low platelet count should be identified as a very rare side effect” and noted that the benefits of the AstraZeneca vaccines continue to outweigh the potential risks.
At the time, the World Health Organization said a link between AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine and rare cases of blood clots was possible, but not confirmed.
Causes of thrombosis: about 100
Dalius Jatužis, a neurologist at Vilnius University Santara Clinics, commented on the latest information related to AstraZeneca on the radio news program “Question of the Day”.

According to the doctor, a slightly higher incidence of thrombosis can be expected in a group of people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19, when a clot blocks a blood vessel.
“In this case, it is about the blocking of the veins, their thrombosis. But these observed cases of human thrombosis are very rare. And compared to the daily threat posed by the coronavirus, that number is certainly very, very small. On the other hand, as stated by the European Medicines Agency, there is no definitive conclusion that these microscopic increases in risk are undoubtedly related to the vaccine, ”said D. Jatužis.
Venous thrombosis has many risk factors. According to the doctor, cerebral venous thrombosis affects 3-5 people per million inhabitants each year.
“We have 10 to 15 cases of this disease in the Santara clinics each year. Most of them are middle-aged, with an average of 35 years. It is not a disease of the elderly. It affects women more,” he said. the interlocutor.
According to him, the causes of thrombosis can be several: oral hormonal contraceptives, cancers and drugs used to treat them, systemic inflammatory diseases, fluid loss during severe vomiting and diarrhea.
In total, there are an estimated 100 causes that can cause cerebral venous thrombosis.
“If we vaccinate a million Lithuanians, according to the worst prognosis, if we take the German experience, we can expect 11 cases of thrombosis. At that time, we now hear about 1,000 cases and about 10 deaths every day, ”the doctor said on the show.
