How Cenorol 2mg Tablet Works

To understand how Cenorol 2mg Tablet works, it helps to understand how your body naturally forms clots. Your liver uses Vitamin K to produce specific proteins that help your blood stick together and clot when you have an injury. Cenorol 2mg Tablet contains acenocoumarol. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1), which reduces the recycling of active vitamin K in the liver. This lowers the production of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors (such as factors II, VII, IX, and X), slowing the formation of harmful blood clots.
