Uniwarfin 5 mg Tablet

Uniwarfin 5 mg contains Warfarin, a well-known anticoagulant that prevents blood clots from forming or growing larger. It is prescribed for patients at risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), stroke, and heart attack.

Warfarin works by inhibiting Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, thereby reducing the blood’s ability to clot. It is crucial for patients with irregular heart rhythms (atrial fibrillation), mechanical heart valves, or a history of clotting disorders. However, regular INR (International Normalized Ratio) monitoring is required to adjust dosage and prevent excessive bleeding.

Key Features:

✔ Prevents and treats blood clots, DVT, and PE.
✔ Essential for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients.
✔ Requires regular INR monitoring for safe dosage adjustment.
✔ Long-established and effective anticoagulant.

Dosage & Precautions:

• Dosage: Typically one tablet daily or as prescribed based on INR levels.
• Regular blood tests (INR) are required to monitor effectiveness.
• Avoid sudden changes in Vitamin K-rich foods (leafy greens, broccoli).
• Do not mix with NSAIDs, aspirin, or other blood thinners without medical advice.
• Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney problems, or bleeding disorders.
