How Acitrom 3 Tablet Works

Acenocoumarol is a vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant. It inhibits vitamin K–dependent clotting factor synthesis (factors II, VII, IX and X) in the liver. This reduces blood clot formation and helps prevent harmful clots from growing or forming.

Dosage & Directions

Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily at the same time each day. Dose is individualized based on INR/PT results; do not change dose or stop abruptly without medical advice. Can be taken with or without food; maintain a consistent diet with respect to vitamin K intake and attend regular INR monitoring.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
