Which is worse for causing blood clots? Cypro or estrogel topical?

In general estrogens cause more clotting factor reaction by the liver although cypro also carries risk of damage to the liver. The prescribing doctor will or should know your risk of either.

I take the cream/gel as it bypasses the liver and is safer as far as clots go.
