Acitrom 2 Tablet

Acitrom 2 Tablet is a blood-thinning medicine given to lower the chances of harmful clots forming in the body. Doctors prescribe it to people at risk of clot-related conditions like deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or stroke. It also helps in protecting the heart, lungs, and brain from clot-related damage.

This medicine should always be taken exactly as your doctor has advised. It can be consumed with or without meals, but taking it at the same time each day improves its effect. Do not stop using it suddenly without medical guidance, as that may increase the risk of clot formation. For best results, it needs to be taken regularly, even if you feel fine.

The most frequently noticed side effect is bleeding. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice blood in your stool, urine, vomit, or small red spots on the skin. If you are scheduled for any surgery or dental procedure, your doctor may decide to pause this medicine for a short period.

Before starting treatment, let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney problems, or if you are taking other medicines, herbal remedies, or supplements. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should also inform the doctor.

Uses
– Helps prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis
– Reduces the risk of blood clots forming in the body

Benefits
In cases of deep vein thrombosis, this medicine thins the blood and prevents the formation of new clots in the deep veins, most often in the legs. By improving circulation, it lowers swelling, pain, and the chance of serious complications like pulmonary embolism. Regular and careful use helps maintain long-term vascular health and reduces the risk of recurrence.

Possible side effects
– Bleeding (hemorrhage) is the most common effect
Most side effects are temporary and fade away as your body adjusts. If they persist, consult your doctor.

How to take it
Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Take it in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor.

How it works
This medicine prevents clot formation by blocking the action of vitamin K, which plays a role in making clotting proteins in the liver. By reducing these proteins, the blood becomes thinner and less likely to form harmful clots.

Precautions
– Avoid alcohol during this treatment, as it increases the chance of bleeding
– Not safe during pregnancy due to harmful effects on the baby
– Can be used during breastfeeding if prescribed by the doctor, as very little passes into breast milk
– Does not affect the ability to drive
– Should be used carefully in patients with kidney or liver disease. In severe cases, it may not be recommended.

Missed dose
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If the next dose is near, skip the missed one and continue as scheduled. Do not take two doses at once.
