Anticoagulants

Anticoagulant medicines, often called blood thinners, help prevent the formation of harmful blood clots or stop existing clots from getting larger. They are commonly prescribed for people with certain heart conditions, blood clotting disorders, or those at risk of stroke or venous thromboembolism. Anticoagulants are available in different forms, including tablets, capsules, and injections. Since these medicines can affect the body's normal clotting process, they should always be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
