It is a blood thinner that is used to treat thrombosis = blood clots. This medicine has the same basic chemical ingredients as rat poison. The clotting of your blood has to be measured/monitored weekly when using this medication. Only a doctor you are consulting with should decide how to take this medication. Do not use this or take any one's advice on how to use this medication other than your family physician.

Its a drug that thins the blood - also an ingredient of rat poison! Its usually used for people who have heart problems, thinning of the arteries etc. All use should be properly monitired by a clinic as the levels change regularly and need to be stabilised. Why???

it is a tablet prescribed by a doctor to thin the blood following a blood clot formation
it is a dangerous drug if not taken correctly blood tests need to be done to ensure that the correct dosage is given
the blood can become too thine causing other problems such as easily bleeding into the area knocked- the brain, leg, arm
only to be taken by medical instruction
