Information about Warfarin
Warfarin Uses
Warfarin is used to prevent deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke prevention and blood clots. It prevents the formation of blood clots in the legs, lungs, brain or heart.
How Warfarin works
Warfarin is an anticoagulant. It works by preventing the formation of harmful blood clots. Although it does not dissolve the existing blood clots, it prevents them from growing larger and causing blockages in the blood vessels.
