Warfarin

Warfarin is a medication that helps prevent blood clots from forming in the body. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, or after certain surgeries. Warfarin works by interfering with vitamin K, which is necessary for blood clotting. Patients on Warfarin need regular blood tests to monitor their blood's clotting ability, ensuring they maintain the right dosage for safety and effectiveness. Since it can interact with many foods and other medications, it's important for users to follow their healthcare provider's advice closely.
