CompositionAcitrom 2 Tablet is used to prevent and treat blood clots in the veins and arteries. It helps lower the risk of serious problems such as deep vein thrombosis, a clot on the lungs (pulmonary embolism), and stroke, especially in people with an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation).
It contains nicoumalone (acenocoumarol), a medicine called an anticoagulant, often known as a blood thinner. It works by reducing the production of certain clotting factors in the liver, which helps blood flow more freely and reduces the chance of clots forming. Take it at the same time every day exactly as prescribed, and do not change the dose without medical advice.
Some general measures help alongside this medicine. These include keeping a consistent diet, limiting alcohol, taking care to avoid cuts and injuries, and telling any healthcare professional that you take a blood thinner.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any bleeding problems, liver problems, recent surgery, or other medicines you take. You will need regular blood tests to check your clotting levels and keep the dose safe. Seek medical attention straight away if you notice unusual or excessive bleeding.
