Coumadin

Coumadin (warfarin) is a medication that helps prevent blood clots from forming or getting bigger. It works by reducing the ability of your blood to clot, which is useful for people at risk of clots that can cause serious issues like strokes or blood vessel blockages. Since it affects blood clotting, your doctor will monitor your blood's clotting time regularly to ensure safety and effectiveness. While it’s effective, Coumadin requires careful management because it can increase bleeding risk if not properly controlled. Proper diet, consistent medication intake, and regular check-ups are essential for safe use.
