Acitrom 4 TabletA

Acitrom 4 Tablet is a medicine that belongs to the group of anticoagulants. It is commonly given to reduce the chances of dangerous clot formation in the blood vessels, which can affect the legs, lungs, brain, or heart. Doctors prescribe it for conditions like deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and for preventing strokes.

The tablet should always be taken as directed by your doctor. It can be consumed with or without food, but taking it at the same time each day is recommended to keep its effect steady. Stopping the medicine on your own can increase health risks, so it must be continued regularly, even if you feel well.

One of the most frequent issues seen with this medicine is bleeding. If you notice blood in urine, stool, vomit, or the appearance of pinpoint rashes on your skin, it is important to report it immediately to your doctor. In situations where a surgery or dental treatment is planned, the doctor may advise stopping the medicine for a short period, but only under medical supervision.

Before beginning treatment, it is necessary to share with your doctor if you have any history of liver or kidney problems. You should also tell your doctor about all the other medicines, herbal remedies, or supplements you are using. Women who are pregnant should avoid it due to harmful effects on the unborn baby, while breastfeeding mothers may use it if prescribed, as it is generally safe.

The medicine mainly helps in preventing clot formation in the deep veins of the legs, thereby reducing swelling, pain, and the risk of complications like pulmonary embolism. Regular use supports smoother blood circulation, reduces recurrence, and helps maintain long-term vascular health, allowing a better and more active lifestyle.

Most side effects are mild and go away as the body adapts, but bleeding remains the most concerning and should be monitored carefully.

The tablet should be swallowed whole with water, without chewing or crushing it. Follow the dosing schedule given by the doctor for the best results.

This medicine works by reducing the effect of vitamin K in the liver. Since vitamin K is responsible for making certain proteins that cause clotting, lowering its action keeps the blood thinner and decreases the risk of unwanted clots.

Alcohol should not be taken during treatment as it increases bleeding risk. It is considered unsafe in pregnancy, but during breastfeeding it can be given safely if prescribed. The medicine does not usually affect driving ability. People with kidney or liver issues need careful monitoring and possible dose adjustments, and in severe cases, it may not be suitable.

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember. If the next scheduled dose is near, skip the missed one and continue as usual. Taking a double dose is not advised.
