Any substance or agent that inhibits or prevents the coagulation of blood.<\/p>\n
A substance that thins the blood and acts to inhibit blood platelets from sticking together.<\/p>\n
Substance that slows or stops the clotting of blood.<\/p>\n
A drug that helps prevent blood clots from forming. Also called a blood thinner.<\/p>\n
A medication or natural compound that slows or prevents the formation of blood clots. (Examples: Heparin [endogenous], Dicumarol, and warfarin [drugs].)<\/p>\n
Slowing or stopping the clotting of blood.<\/p>\n
An agent that prevents or delays blood clotting.<\/p>\n
Class of medications that delay or prevent clot formation.<\/p>\n
Drugs that prevent clotting of blood; also called “blood thinners.\u201d Anticoagulants are used to maintain normal blood flow in people who are at risk for excessive clot formation, such as people who are immobile. Anticoagulants prevent new clots or the enlargement of existing clots; they do not dissolve existing clots.<\/p>\n
An agent that prevents the clotting of blood. The natural anticoagulant heparin directly interferes with blood clotting and is active both within the body and against a sample of blood in a test tube. Synthetic drugs, such as dicoumarol, phenindione, and warfarin, are effective only within the body, since they act by affecting blood coagulation factors. They take longer to act than heparin. Anticoagulants are used to prevent the formation of blood clots or to break up clots in blood vessels in such conditions as thrombosis and embolism. Incorrect dosage may result in hemorrhage.<\/p>\n
Anticoagulants are drugs which inhibit coagulation of the blood. They are used to prevent and treat abnormal clotting of the blood, to treat thrombosis, and sometimes to prevent or treat stroke or transient ischaemic attacks or episodes\u00a0(TIA, TIE). Anticoagulant drugs are also prescribed preventively in major surgery to stop abnormal clotting from occurring; haemodialysis\u00a0is another procedure during which these drugs are used. Anticoagulants are also prescribed to prevent thrombi (clots) forming on prosthetic heart valves after heart surgery.<\/p>\n
Delaying or preventing blood coagulation.<\/p>\n
A drug that helps prevent blood clots from forming. Also called a blood thinner.<\/p>\n
A pharmaceutical agent which impedes or retards the process of blood clot formation.<\/p>\n
Medications employed to hinder the formation of blood clots or to impede the enlargement of existing clots are commonly referred to as anticoagulant drugs. These pharmaceuticals, also known as blood thinners, act by obstructing the activity of clotting factors or platelets, thereby preventing clot formation. Anticoagulant drugs can be classified into three categories: inhibitors that impede the synthesis of clotting factors, inhibitors that target thrombin, and medications that possess antiplatelet properties.<\/p>\n
