Acitrom 3.5mg Tablet

Acitrom 3.5 mg Tablet is a medicine that works as a blood thinner. It is mainly prescribed to lower the risk of harmful clots forming inside the body. Doctors use it to manage conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and for preventing strokes or clot-related complications that may affect the heart, brain, or lungs.

This medicine should be taken exactly as directed by your doctor. It can be consumed with or without meals, though taking it at the same time every day is advisable for best results. The treatment should not be stopped suddenly without medical advice because doing so may increase the chances of developing new clots. To gain full benefit, it is important to continue taking the tablets regularly even if you feel well.

The most common problem seen with this medicine is bleeding. If you notice unusual symptoms such as blood in vomit, urine, or stools, or small red spots appearing on the skin, seek medical help immediately. Before any surgery or dental treatment, you may be advised to pause the medicine for a short time, but only under a doctor’s supervision.

Before starting the treatment, it is essential to inform your doctor about any history of liver or kidney problems and about all other medicines, supplements, or herbal products you may be using. Pregnant women should not use this medicine, while breastfeeding mothers may use it if prescribed by the doctor as it is considered safe in small amounts.

Primary uses include treatment and prevention of deep vein thrombosis and reducing the risk of blood clots.

Health benefits in cases of deep vein thrombosis include thinning of the blood, lowering the chance of clot formation, and improving blood circulation. This in turn reduces pain, swelling, and discomfort in the legs and helps prevent dangerous complications such as pulmonary embolism. With consistent use and proper monitoring, this medicine supports long-term vascular health, reduces recurrence, and helps patients lead a more active and comfortable life.

Possible side effects often do not last long and usually improve as the body adjusts. The most reported effect is bleeding. If symptoms continue or worsen, medical advice should be taken.

Directions for use involve swallowing the tablet whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or break it. Follow the dosage exactly as prescribed.

Mode of action is by blocking vitamin K activity in the liver. Vitamin K is required to produce proteins that help the blood to clot. By reducing these proteins, this medicine keeps the blood thinner and reduces the possibility of dangerous clot formation.

Precautions include avoiding alcohol, as it can raise the risk of bleeding. It is unsafe in pregnancy but may be prescribed to breastfeeding mothers if necessary. It does not interfere with driving ability. Patients with kidney or liver issues should use it carefully, and in severe cases, it may not be suitable.

Missed dose instructions are simple: take it as soon as you remember. If your next scheduled dose is near, skip the missed one and continue as usual. Never take two doses together to make up for the missed dose.
