Warf-1 Tablet 30's

Warf-1 Tablet 30's belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants (blood thinners). Warf-1 Tablet 30'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.

Warf-1 Tablet 30'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.
