Pulmonary Embolisms – Symptoms & Causes

Medications

Many medications and drugs would lead to pulmonary embolism as their side effects. The list might include birth control pills, antipsychotic drugs, and many other medications that are often used for chemotherapy. They would affect the thinning of blood in the body, thus increasing the risk of pulmonary embolism. For this reason, it is very important to follow the instructions and take the right dosages. Also, keep in mind to inform your doctor about your medical history so that he or she would suggest the right drugs for your condition. [10]
