Product Overview

Warfarin is an anticoagulant which is used to prevent the blood from clotting. You should inform the doctor if you have any bleeding disorder before taking this medicine and you should be aware of the possible side effects of this medicine. Close monitoring of liver and kidney function is necessary while receiving this medicine due to an increase in the risk of bleeding.

Uses

  1. Blood Clot Prevention: It is used to prevent and treat blood clots in veins (deep vein thrombosis or DVT) and arteries (arterial thromboembolism).

  2. Atrial Fibrillation: Warfarin is prescribed for individuals with atrial fibrillation, a condition where the heart's rhythm is irregular, to reduce the risk of stroke.

  3. Heart Valve Replacement: After heart valve replacement surgery, warfarin may be used to prevent clot formation on the artificial valve.

Benefits

Reduced Blood Clot Risk: Warfarin helps prevent blood clots that can lead to serious medical conditions such as stroke, pulmonary embolism, and heart attacks.

Side Effect

  • Bleeding (bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums)
  • Upset stomach
  • Diarrhea
  • Skin changes
  • Hair loss (rare)
  • Purple toes syndrome (rare)

How to use

Warfarin is typically taken as a tablet by mouth, usually once a day. The dosage is individualized based on your medical condition and response to the medication. It's essential to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and take it at the same time every day. Regular monitoring of your INR levels is necessary to adjust the dosage.

How It works

Warfarin works by interfering with the body's ability to use vitamin K to produce clotting factors. By reducing the production of these clotting factors, warfarin helps to prevent excessive blood clotting.

What if you forget to take?

If you forget to take your warfarin dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
