Introduction
Managing blood clots and maintaining heart health is critical for many patients, especially those with conditions like atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, or prosthetic heart valves. Nicoumalone 1mg is a well-known anticoagulant (blood thinner) that helps reduce the risk of clot formation and associated complications like stroke or pulmonary embolism.
NICOMALOM 1, developed by Steris Healthcare, is a trusted and clinically backed formulation of nicoumalone 1mg. Whether you're starting anticoagulant therapy or transitioning from other blood thinners, understanding how nicoumalone 1mg works is essential to your safety and wellness.
What Is Nicoumalone 1mg?
Nicoumalone 1mg, also known as acenocoumarol, is an oral anticoagulant that works by inhibiting the production of Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors in the liver. This helps prevent the formation of harmful blood clots in veins, arteries, lungs, and the heart.
It belongs to the class of drugs called Vitamin K antagonists and is similar in action to warfarin. However, nicoumalone often has a more predictable effect and shorter half-life, making it a preferred option in many cases.
Nicoumalone Tablet Uses
The nicoumalone tablet is prescribed to treat or prevent:
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Pulmonary embolism (PE)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) – to prevent strokes
Prosthetic heart valves – to prevent clot formation
Post-surgical clot prevention
Thrombophlebitis
If you’re wondering, nicoumalone is used for what? Simply put, it’s used to prevent blood clots from forming or growing larger, especially in individuals at high risk due to heart or circulation conditions.
How Does Tab Nicoumalone Work?
The tab nicoumalone works by interfering with Vitamin K activity in the liver, which is essential for forming clotting factors (Factor II, VII, IX, and X). By lowering the activity of these factors, nicoumalone 1mg helps maintain blood flow and reduces the chance of clots that can cause strokes, heart attacks, or pulmonary embolism.
