Product Description
Acitrom 2 Tablet contains Acenocoumarol (2mg), an oral anticoagulant medicine that works by thinning the blood and preventing the formation of clots. It is commonly prescribed for patients with conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation), and after certain heart surgeries to reduce the risk of clot formation.
Your doctor will decide the exact dose based on regular blood tests (INR monitoring), as the effect of Acitrom varies from person to person. It is important to take this medicine at the same time every day and avoid sudden dietary changes, especially foods rich in vitamin K (like spinach, cabbage, and broccoli), as they may interfere with its effectiveness.
