I don't think there is a set time for the blood clot to clear. As I understand it the clot clears naturally. The drugs simply reduce the risk of something more serious like PE. Even after the blood clot clears you may still get PTS symptoms from time to time which are similar to the DVT. They are tricky things blood clots!
