Acitrom 1 Tablet

Description

Acitrom 1 Tablet is an oral anticoagulant/blood thinner manufactured by Abbott, containing Acenocoumarol (1mg) as its active ingredient. It is prescribed primarily for the prevention and treatment of harmful blood clots (thromboembolic disorders) in conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), atrial fibrillation, heart valve replacement, and to reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes in high-risk individuals.

How it Works:
Acenocoumarol blocks the production of vitamin K–dependent clotting factors in the liver (II, VII, IX, X), making your blood less likely to clot. This increases the time for blood to clot, reducing the risk of clots forming or growing within veins, arteries, or the heart. Acitrom helps prevent dangerous complications like stroke, pulmonary embolism, or heart attack caused by blocked vessels.

Uses of Acitrom 1 Tablet:

• Prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT—blood clots in leg veins)

• Pulmonary embolism (PE—clots in the lungs)

• Reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation or artificial heart valves

• Prevention of clotting after heart valve surgery or in other clot-prone conditions

Key Benefits:

• Prevents formation and recurrence of life-threatening blood clots

• Reduces risk of heart attack and stroke in high-risk cardiac patients

• Provides protection after surgery and in long-term clotting disorders

• Well-established therapy for both acute and chronic prevention
