Quick Tips

  • Carry a card or wear a band that says you take a blood-thinning medicine.
  • Tell every doctor, dentist, and surgeon you see that you take this medicine before any procedure.
  • Take care while shaving, cutting nails, or using sharp objects, and check your skin for unexplained bruises.

Dosage

Overdose

Taking too much of this medicine can cause unusual bleeding or bruising. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Your body uses vitamin k to make the proteins that help blood clot. nicoumalone reduces the effect of vitamin k, so the body makes fewer of these clotting proteins. This makes the blood take longer to clot and helps prevent harmful clots from forming or growing. Because the effect needs to stay within a safe range, regular blood tests guide how much you take.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Acitrom tablet works, and this medicine can also change how other medicines behave. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins, and herbal products you take. In particular, mention if you take aspirin or painkillers such as ibuprofen, certain antibiotics, or herbal products like ginkgo, as these can raise the risk of bleeding, while some others can make this medicine work less well.

Interactions with food items

Foods rich in vitamin k, such as green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli, can change how well this medicine works. You do not need to avoid them, but try to eat about the same amount from week to week so your blood stays steady. Limit alcohol, as it can add to the risk of bleeding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes. Tests are frequent at first, then usually spaced out once your dose is steady. They keep the blood-thinning effect within a safe range.
No. You do not need to avoid them. The key is consistency, so eat about the same amount of vitamin k rich foods from week to week.
