Today the child in your care has had an unsuccessful challenge. An unsuccessful challenge means that the child has had an allergic reaction. Most allergic reactions happen immediately after eating food or exposure to an allergen such as a medication or latex. The child has been treated with the necessary medications and observed for at least 2-4 hours. The staff have agreed that it is safe for the child to go home. It is unlikely that the child will become unwell again but occasionally delayed reactions can happen.
You have been referred this page as you have been told by your doctor that you have a condition called venous thromboembolism (or VTE for short). VTE is when a blood clot forms in a vein. This might mean that you have a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a pulmonary embolism (PE) or both. Your doctor has prescribed apixaban. This is a type of medication known as a direct-acting oral anticoagulant (or DOAC). Apixaban is a blood thinning medication given to treat VTE and help prevent another clot from forming. If you have had a DVT or PE, you are not alone. VTE is a fairly common condition. About 1 in every 20 people will have a VTE in their lifetime.
