About Acenomac 4mg Tablet

ACENOCOUMAROL belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinners. ACENOCOUMAROL is primarily used to prevent and treat various types of thromboembolic diseases (blood clots inside blood vessels) including deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung). Deep vein thrombosis is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins usually in the legs. Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which a blood clot blocks the arteries in the lungs.

ACENOCOUMAROL is prescribed to prevent unwanted clots from forming if you have a condition that puts you at risk of this happening, such as atrial fibrillation, or if you have had a heart valve replacement. It is also given to prevent any clots that may have already formed in the blood vessels of your legs, lungs, or heart from becoming larger and causing problems. ACENOCOUMAROL works by increasing the time it takes for your blood to clot, reducing the risk of a stroke or heart attack. This medication helps to keep blood flowing smoothly in your body by decreasing the amount/number of clotting proteins in the blood. ACENOCOUMAROL does not dissolve blood clots that have already formed but it may stop the clots from becoming larger and causing more serious problems.

Take ACENOCOUMAROL preferably with or without food and swallow it whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. Some people may experience unusual bleeding or skin rash. Most of these side effects of ACENOCOUMAROL do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to ACENOCOUMAROL or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant, trying for a baby, or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using ACENOCOUMAROL. If you have any cuts or wounds, stomach ulcers, kidney or liver problems, high blood pressure or bleeding problems, or if you are taking or using any other medicines. This includes any medicines you are taking which are available to buy without a prescription, as well as herbal and complementary medicines.  Inform your doctor before taking ACENOCOUMAROL. It would help if you had frequent 'INR' (international normalized ratio) or prothrombin time tests to measure your blood-clotting time, as ACENOCOUMAROL prolongs bleeding time. You must be cautious while shaving and brushing your teeth to avoid too much bleeding from the injury site.

Medicinal Benefits of Acenomac 4mg Tablet

ACENOCOUMAROL is the popular drug of choice for oral anticoagulant therapy in many indications like calf deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins), proximal deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in a deep vein), pulmonary embolism (A condition in which one or more arteries in the lungs become blocked by a blood clot), recurrent venous thromboembolism (a blood clot forms most often in the deep veins of the leg, groin or arm), cardioversion, atrial fibrillation (An irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow), antiphospholipid syndrome (A disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks normal proteins in the blood) and mechanical heart valves. ACENOCOUMAROL works by inhibiting the production of clotting factors by decreasing the action of vitamin K. This prevents the conversion of fibrinogen (soluble protein) to fibrin (insoluble protein) thereby preventing blood clots formation.
