I think I've spelt it right.
I've just taken one and we've red the packaging and it said be careful if anyone in your family has deep vein thrombosis, which my grandad has, will I be ok or should we go back?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.molly if you are worried, either ring NHS Direct or go and talk to your practice nurse. If everyone read the leaflets and contra-indications on all their medication and worried about it, we'd never take any medication. The drug companies have to report any and all reported side-effects and risks, and then you know that if you feel that you are at risk, you can keep an eye on yourself (or choose not to take it). When I was on HRT, the leaflet (and the evidence) said there was a very slight increased risk of breast cancer, but I spoke to my GP about it, we talked it through, and weighed up that the benefits of being on HRT and making me feel well outweighed the other risk. Nearly all drugs have risks, you just have to be sensible how you take them, and note if you feel unwell while you are on them.

Molly, all drugs carry risks, generally or to specific people, anti-depressants can cause depression, anti allergy tablets can cause allergies, the list is endless and often ironic.
All sorts of things can put you at risk of things like DVT, flying and generally being immobile for long periods being an example.
If your GP knows all the facts and has said it's fine I'd be trusting the one with the medical degree, training and experience.
If you get symptoms call him again.

Your GP will have access to your medical notes and wouldn't have prescribed the drug if it wasn't safe.
There's a world of difference between you and your granddad. I would hazard a guess that you are a lot more active than him for starters and I would therefore expect your heart and circulation to be much healthier. As you've said, it's short-term. If you were a relatively sedentary 40 year old likely to be on the drug for a long time, I think the GP would have thought twice before prescribing.
