About Cenorol 4mg Tablet

Cenorol 4mg Tablet belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinners. Cenorol 4mg Tablet is primarily 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). Deep vein thrombosis is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins, usually in the legs. Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which a blood clot blocks the arteries in the lungs.

Cenorol 4mg Tablet is prescribed to prevent unwanted clots from forming if you have a condition that puts you at risk of this happening, such as atrial fibrillation, or if you have had 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. Cenorol 4mg Tablet works by increasing the time it takes for your blood to clot, reducing the risk of a stroke or heart attack. This medication helps to keep blood flowing smoothly in your body by decreasing the amount/number of clotting proteins in the blood. Cenorol 4mg Tablet does not dissolve blood clots that have already formed but may stop them from becoming larger and causing more serious problems.

Take Cenorol 4mg Tablet preferably with or without food, and swallow whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. Some people may experience unusual bleeding or skin rash. Most of these side effects of Cenorol 4mg Tablet 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 Cenorol 4mg 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 Cenorol 4mg Tablet. If you have any cuts or wounds, stomach ulcers, kidney or liver problems, high blood pressure or bleeding problems or if you are taking or using any other medicines. This includes any medicines you are taking which are available to buy without a prescription, as well as herbal and complementary medicines.  Inform your doctor before taking Cenorol 4mg Tablet. It would help if you had frequent 'INR' (international normalized ratio) or prothrombin time tests to measure your blood-clotting time, as Cenorol 4mg Tablet prolongs bleeding time.

Medicinal Benefits

Cenorol 4mg Tablet is the popular drug of choice for oral anticoagulant therapy in many indications like calf deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins), proximal deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in a deep vein), pulmonary embolism (A condition in which one or more arteries in the lungs become blocked by a blood clot), recurrent venous thromboembolism (a blood clot forms most often in the deep veins of the leg, groin or arm), cardioversion, atrial fibrillation (An irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow), antiphospholipid syndrome (A disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks normal proteins in the blood) and mechanical heart valves.
