Here's how you should take Acitrom 1 Tablet:

• Strictly follow the dosage and timing instructions provided by your doctor for this medication.

Acitrom 1 Tablet is taken orally.

Acitrom 1 Tablet contains Nicoumalone (1 mg), which has a specific mechanism of action:

• Inhibits Vitamin K Cycle: Nicoumalone works by hindering the interconversion of vitamin K and its epoxide (vitamin K epoxide). This action reduces the production of clotting proteins that are dependent on vitamin K.
• Decreases Blood Clotting Proteins: By disrupting the vitamin K cycle, Nicoumalone effectively decreases the production of certain blood clotting proteins in the liver, such as Factor II (prothrombin), VII, IX and X, along with anticoagulant proteins C and S.
• Delays Clot Formation: The reduction in these proteins increases the time it takes for a blood clot to form. This makes it less likely for harmful clots to develop within blood vessels.

• Keep Acitrom 1 Tablet in a closed container, away from direct light and moisture.
• Store at room temperature, ideally between 15°C to 30°C.
• Avoid places with excessive heat or cold, such as near radiators or refrigerators.
• Always keep out of reach of children.
• Use it before the expiry date marked on the package.

• Maintain a consistent diet: sudden changes, especially increasing green leafy vegetables high in vitamin K can affect how Acitrom 1 Tablet works in your body.
• Limit your alcohol consumption: Excessive alcohol can increase the risk of stomach bleeding when you are taking Acitrom 1 Tablet. If you do drink, keep it to a minimum.
