About Mywarf 5mg Tablet 15's

Mywarf 5mg Tablet 15's belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants (blood thinners). Mywarf 5mg Tablet 15's 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.

Mywarf 5mg Tablet 15's 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 Mywarf 5mg Tablet 15's 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 Mywarf 5mg Tablet 15'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 Mywarf 5mg Tablet 15's or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Mywarf 5mg Tablet 15's. If you have a stomach ulcer, kidney or liver problems, high blood pressure, or bleeding problems, inform your doctor before taking Mywarf 5mg Tablet 15's. It would help if you had frequent INR (International Normalized Ratio) or prothrombin time tests to measure your blood-clotting time, as Mywarf 5mg Tablet 15's prolongs bleeding time. You must be cautious while shaving and brushing your teeth to avoid too much bleeding from the injury site.
