I have diagnosed with Deep vein Thrombosis last year again and having such problem before 7 years back as well. I am taking warfarin tablets. Someone told me that clots in veins do not get dissolve completely. Is it true? Is it lifetime to take these tablets so that it will not occur again? Please confirm.
