Acitrom 1.5mg Tablet

Acitrom 1.5mg Tablet is a medicine that helps prevent the formation of harmful clots in the blood. It is generally given to people at risk of conditions like clots in the legs, blockage in the lungs, strokes, or heart-related clotting problems. Doctors often prescribe it for deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and stroke prevention.

This medicine should be taken exactly as advised by your doctor. It may be consumed with meals or on an empty stomach, but it is best taken at the same time each day for consistent results. It is important not to stop the treatment suddenly without medical guidance, even if you feel well, as it is meant to prevent serious complications in the future.

One of the most common unwanted effects of this medicine is bleeding. Inform your doctor at once if you notice any unusual bleeding, tiny red spots on your skin, or blood appearing in urine, stools, or vomit. If you are planning any surgery or dental work, let your doctor know beforehand, since you may need to stop the medicine temporarily under medical advice.

Before starting this medicine, your doctor should be aware of any kidney or liver problems, and you should share details of all medicines, herbal products, or supplements you are using. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor before taking it.

The tablet is mainly used for conditions like deep vein thrombosis, where blood clots form in the deep veins, usually in the legs. By thinning the blood, it prevents such clots from forming or getting bigger. This reduces the chances of complications such as pulmonary embolism and also helps ease pain, swelling, and discomfort. With regular use under medical supervision, it improves long-term blood flow and supports better quality of life.

Possible side effects include bleeding, but most effects fade away as the body gets used to the medicine. Always consult your doctor if side effects continue or if you are worried.

The medicine works by blocking the effect of vitamin K in the body. Vitamin K is required by the liver to produce certain clotting proteins. By lowering the levels of these proteins, Acitrom 1.5mg Tablet reduces the ability of blood to form clots.

Alcohol consumption while taking this medicine is unsafe, as it can increase risks of bleeding. It is not considered safe for pregnant women, but it may be used during breastfeeding if prescribed, as very little passes into breast milk. Driving ability is not usually affected.

People with kidney or liver problems may require extra care, and in severe cases, this medicine may not be suitable. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is close, skip the forgotten one and continue as normal. Never take a double dose.
