Blood clots associated with those who take the pill occur in the veins of the legs and are called thromboembolisms, from which some women experience ongoing health problems, and three percent of women die. ATryn([R]), our recombinant form of human antithrombin, was approved by the European Commission for use in preventing deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, and thromboembolisms in patients with a hereditary antithrombin deficiency that are undergoing surgical procedures.
