About Acitrom 2 Tablet

Acitrom 2 Tablet is used to prevent and treat various types of thromboembolic diseases (blood clots inside blood vessels), including deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung).

Acitrom 2 Tablet is used to prevent unwanted clots from forming in conditions such as atrial fibrillation or after a heart valve replacement. It is also given to prevent any clots that may have already formed in the blood vessels of your legs, lungs, or heart from becoming larger and causing problems.

Acitrom 2 Tablet contains Nicoumalone, which works by increasing the time it takes for your blood to clot, reducing the risk of a stroke or heart attack. This medication helps keep blood flowing smoothly in your body by decreasing the amount/number of clotting proteins in the blood.

Some people may experience unusual bleeding or a skin rash. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Acitrom 2 Tablet or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant, trying for a baby, or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Acitrom 2 Tablet . Acitrom 2 Tablet does not dissolve blood clots that have already formed, but it may stop the clots from becoming larger and causing more serious problems.
