Acenocoumarol 4 mg
Prevention and treatment of blood clots (thromboembolism) such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE); prevention of stroke/systemic embolism in atrial fibrillation; prevention of clotting in patients with prosthetic heart valves and other high-risk conditions
Acenocoumarol is a vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant. It inhibits vitamin K–dependent clotting factors (II, VII, IX, X) in the liver, reducing the blood’s ability to form clots. Its effect is monitored using PT/INR.
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily at the same time each day. Dose is individualized based on INR; do not change dose or stop without medical advice. Can be taken with or without food; keep dietary vitamin K intake consistent and attend regular INR testing.
Common side effects of Acitrom 4 Tablet may include:
High risk of serious bleeding; seek urgent care for unusual bleeding, severe headache, weakness, vomiting blood, or black stools. Requires regular PT/INR monitoring. Use with caution in liver or kidney disease, uncontrolled hypertension, history of bleeding, peptic ulcer, recent surgery/trauma, alcohol misuse, and in elderly patients. Maintain consistent vitamin K intake; avoid sudden dietary changes. Inform healthcare providers before any procedure/dental work. Do not self-medicate with painkillers like NSAIDs without advice.
