Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs when a blood clot forms in the vein, blocking blood flow in the area. Anyone can be inflicted with VTE, but some people, like pregnant women, are at a higher risk. All pregnant women must be assessed for VTE risk factors in early pregnancy and after delivery. They will be categorised into high risk, intermediate risk or low risk groups, and advised to take appropriate preventive measures. The drug is used in many Muslim countries aside from Malaysia, due to its benefit and superiority to alternative options, especially for pregnant women.
