- Using the lowest effective dose of steroids, with a plan for taper
- Choosing anticoagulants with a lower risk of bleeding compliciations (np., apixaban may have a better safety profile than warfarin in some patients)
- Adding profilaktyczny nawilżacz i neuropatia screenying for pacjents starting chemotherapy or antiretrovirals
