Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinners. Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's 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.
Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's 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. Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's 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. Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's does not dissolve blood clots that have already formed but may stop them from becoming larger and causing more serious problems.
Take Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's 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 Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's 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 0.5 Tablet 10's 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 0.5 Tablet 10's. 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 Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's. It would help if you had frequent 'INR' (international normalized ratio) or prothrombin time tests to measure your blood-clotting time, as Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's prolongs bleeding time. You must be cautious while shaving and brushing your teeth to avoid too much bleeding from the injury site.
Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's 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. Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's works by inhibiting the production of clotting factors by decreasing the action of vitamin K. This prevents the conversion of fibrinogen (soluble protein) to fibrin (insoluble protein), thereby preventing blood clot formation.
Indigestion medicines known as proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole should be used with caution while taking Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's. Prolonged use of Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's can cause bleeding problems (like nosebleeds, heavier periods, bleeding gums, and easy bruising). If you are going to have any surgery, discontinue taking Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's five days before the surgery. Discontinuation of Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's might increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other risks of cardiovascular events. So, do not stop taking Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's of a sudden on your own decision. If you have had any recent stroke or heart attack, stop the intake of Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's with painkillers like aspirin or ibuprofen as it can increase your stomach or gastrointestinal bleeding. Purpura (blood leakage under the skin) has been observed using Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's, including fatal cases. If you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or are a nursing mother, tell your doctor that you are taking Acitrom 0.5 Tablet 10's.

Blood clots can occur in any body part, leading to a heart attack, stroke, and organ damage (even coma or death). Blood clots can reach your arteries or veins in the organs like the brain, kidney, heart, lungs, and limbs. Conditions like atherosclerosis, diabetes, heart failure, irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), and obesity/overweight can trigger excessive blood clotting in the brain and heart. On the other hand, deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in veins), peripheral artery disease (narrowed arteries due to fat deposit or blood clot), and atherosclerosis (fat built upon the walls of the arteries) can cause a blood clot in your limbs.
Deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in legs) is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins, usually in the legs. The symptoms include leg pain or swelling.
Pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung) is a chronic condition which occurs as the blood clots break and travel to the lungs from deep veins in the legs or other parts of the body. The symptoms of pulmonary embolism include cough, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
