Warf 3 Tablet

Type: Oral anticoagulant (blood thinner).
Purpose: Prevents harmful blood clots in veins/arteries (legs, lungs, brain, heart).

Uses:

• Treats/prevents deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

• Prevents pulmonary embolism (lung clots).

• Reduces risk of stroke and other blood clots.

How to Take:

• Dose: As prescribed by the doctor.

• Timing: With/without food, but at a fixed time daily.

• Do NOT: Chew, crush, or stop abruptly.

• Avoid: Foods rich in Vitamin K (spinach, broccoli, cucumber, etc.), as they reduce effectiveness.

How It Works:

• Blocks clotting factors in the liver, preventing clot growth (does not dissolve existing clots).

Side Effects:

• Common: Increased risk of bleeding (nosebleeds, gum bleeding, bruising).

• Serious: Blood in urine/vomit/stool, severe headaches (seek help immediately).

Safety Advice:

• Alcohol: Unsafe (increases bleeding risk).

• Pregnancy: Harmful (can cause birth defects).

• Breastfeeding: Safe (minimal transfer to milk).

• Kidney/Liver Disease:

  • Kidney: Safe (no dose adjustment).

  • Liver: Use with caution (dose may need adjustment).

• Surgery/Dental Work: Inform doctor—may need to pause medication.

If You Miss a Dose:

• Skip the missed dose; do NOT double dose.

Key Notes:

• Regular blood tests (INR monitoring) required to check clotting time.

• Inform doctors about all other medications/supplements (interactions possible).

Consult your doctor for personalized guidance, especially if you have liver disease, are pregnant, or notice unusual bleeding. Always follow prescribed dosages strictly.
