CompositionWarf-5 Tablet is used to prevent and treat dangerous blood clots in people with conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), atrial fibrillation, or mechanical heart valves. It helps reduce the risk of serious complications such as stroke or recurrent blood clots.
It contains warfarin, an anticoagulant. Take it as prescribed at the same time each day. Regular blood tests (INR) are essential to make sure the dose is right for you. Never adjust the dose without your doctor's guidance. Do not stop it without medical advice, as stopping it suddenly can rapidly raise the risk of a dangerous blood clot.
Keeping your vitamin K intake consistent is important while taking this medicine. Sudden changes in the amount of vitamin K-rich foods you eat (such as leafy green vegetables, broccoli, or spinach) can affect how the medicine works. Alcohol can also affect how warfarin works.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any bleeding disorders, stomach ulcers, liver or kidney problems, or planned surgery. Many medicines, including over-the-counter products, can interact with warfarin. Tell all healthcare professionals that you are taking warfarin before any procedure. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience unusual, prolonged, or heavy bleeding. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy.
