About Genericart Warfarin 2mg Tablet

Genericart Warfarin 2mg Tablet belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants (blood thinners). Genericart Warfarin 2mg Tablet is primarily used to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung) by reducing the formation of a blood clot. 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 blood clot blocks the arteries in the lungs.

Genericart Warfarin 2mg Tablet contains Warfarin which 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.

Take Genericart Warfarin 2mg Tablet with or without food as advised by the doctor and swallow it as a 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 Genericart Warfarin 2mg Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
