Acitrom is a brand name for the medication acenocoumarol. It is an oral anticoagulant, which means it helps prevent blood clots from forming or growing larger.

Key points about Acitrom:

• It is commonly prescribed to patients who have conditions like atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or those with artificial heart valves.
• Acitrom works by interfering with the blood's clotting process, reducing the risk of stroke or other clot-related complications.
• Regular blood tests (INR tests, which measure the International Normalized Ratio) are needed to monitor its effect and adjust the dose safely.
• It is important to take Acitrom exactly as prescribed and inform your doctor about any other medications or health changes.

If you have been prescribed Acitrom or are considering it, discussing with a specialist doctor such as a cardiologist or hematologist will ensure safe and effective use tailored to your health needs.
