Acitrom 2.5mg Tablet

Acitrom 2.5mg Tablet is a medicine used to lower the chances of dangerous blood clots forming inside the body. It is most often prescribed for people with conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or those at risk of stroke and other clot-related complications involving the heart, lungs, or brain.

The medicine should always be taken exactly as directed by your doctor. It can be consumed with meals or on an empty stomach, though taking it at the same time each day makes it more effective. Stopping this treatment suddenly without medical advice is not safe, as it can increase the risk of clotting. Consistent use is important even when you feel well because its role is to prevent future problems.

The most common unwanted effect linked with this treatment is bleeding. Seek medical advice straight away if you notice unusual bleeding, red spots on your skin, or blood in vomit, stool, or urine. If you need surgery or dental procedures, your doctor may decide to pause the medicine for a short time.

Before beginning therapy, your doctor should know if you have any issues with your kidneys or liver, or if you are on other medicines, including herbal products or supplements. You should also inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding so that safe decisions can be made.

This medicine is especially useful in the management of deep vein thrombosis. By thinning the blood, it improves circulation, reduces swelling and pain in the legs, and lowers the chance of serious complications like pulmonary embolism. Continued use, along with regular monitoring, helps in maintaining good vascular health and reducing the risk of recurrence, thereby supporting a more active lifestyle.

Many side effects are temporary and ease as the body adapts, but persistent symptoms should be discussed with a doctor. The way this medicine works is by interfering with vitamin K activity. Vitamin K plays an important role in the formation of clotting proteins in the liver, and by blocking its action, the tablet reduces clot formation.

Alcohol intake is considered unsafe during this treatment as it raises the risk of bleeding. This medicine should not be used during pregnancy due to harmful effects on the baby, but it may be prescribed during breastfeeding if approved by a doctor since very little passes into breast milk. Driving ability usually remains unaffected.

Patients with kidney or liver conditions may require adjustments in their dosage, and in severe disease affecting these organs, the medicine might not be suitable. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If the time for the next dose is close, skip the missed dose and return to your normal schedule. Never take two doses at the same time.
