Anticoagulation Therapy

Anticoagulation therapy involves the use of medications that help prevent blood clots from forming or growing larger. These drugs, often referred to as "blood thinners," are important for reducing the risk of serious conditions like stroke, heart attack, or deep vein thrombosis. They work by interfering with the blood's clotting process, making it less likely that clots will occur. Patients on anticoagulants require regular monitoring and follow-up, as proper dosing is crucial for safety and effectiveness. It’s essential to balance the benefits of preventing clots with the risk of excessive bleeding.
