CVST is rare overall — it affects about 5 in 1 million people each year, according to Cedars-Sinai. In general, though, “drugs that can cause blood clots are all medications that can do this,†Jamie Alan, assistant professor of pharmacology at Michigan State University, tells Yahoo Life.
Those can include:
Oral contraceptives
Testosterone supplementation
Warfarin
Heparin
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen
Experts stress that the associated risk of CVST from the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is incredibly low.
“People have forgotten that COVID-19 is the clear and present danger,†infectious disease expert Dr. Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, tells Yahoo Life. “COVID-19 can cause blood clots and kill you. The world needs to get a lot better at risk-benefit calculation.â€

Good Morning.
It's "Titanic" day. If only Mitch McConnell would get hit by an iceberg...
Alternately, anything good playing at Ford's Theater tonight that he might want to go see??

Quote by TriSec:
And you shall be the first to know. Things happened very quickly. I literally applied to four jobs last week.
I have an offer on the table already; I am going to the office tomorrow for some "assessments". Essentially, the doctor wants to see me "in action", so I will sit with her front desk folks for a while tomorrow and interact with some patients.
I expect to drive to Framingham after that and hand in my resignation.
Going back to a desk job in my primary industry - and should eventually become the Practice Manager here.
(Single-doc practice in Cambridge; she doesn't want to run the business side anymore and just wants to practice medicine.)
Quote by BobR:
I too have a low platelet count. It's weird that THAT would be a factor in blood clots.
Brace for this defense witness, y’all... he helped get police off on a horrible case where they killed 19-yr.-old Anton Black, who had committed no crime.#chauvintrial https://t.co/9ip3w236Y6.. pic.twitter.com/Jl8w3rbCFI
