I've just started taking Argatroban for Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) and I have a ton of questions. For those who don't know, Argatroban is a medicine given by injection into a vein to prevent blood clots by inhibiting thrombin. It's a bit scary to be on a medication with such potent effects, so I want to hear from others who have been through this. What should I expect? What side effects did you experience? What other precautions did your doctor provide? I am trying to gather as much info as possible to be prepared.
