Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1] Please note Acitrom is category X drug. It is has proved harmful effects on the fetus . Risk to fetus over weigh benefits. So you should not conceive when on the medicine and take the medicine when pregnant.
2] In case you wish to become pregnant , then with your doctors advise, you can start with low molecular weight heparin injection and then think of getting pregnancy.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
With regards
Dr Purushottam
