Warfarin 1mg Uses
Warfarin 1mg is prescribed to:
- Prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
- Reduce the risk of stroke in individuals with atrial fibrillation, heart valve replacement, or other heart conditions.
- Manage blood clotting disorders such as antiphospholipid syndrome.
- Prevent clot formation after certain surgeries, such as orthopedic procedures.
How Does Warfarin 1mg Work
Warfarin works by inhibiting the vitamin K-dependent synthesis of clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X, along with proteins C and S in the liver. This reduces the blood’s ability to clot, preventing new clots from forming and stopping existing clots from growing.
How to Use Warfarin 1mg

- Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food.
- Follow your doctor’s instructions for regular blood tests (INR) to monitor the effectiveness and adjust the dosage if needed.
