Disease Features anticoagulants
Absence or low individual and public risk
Anticoagulants - what does this mean
Anticoagulants are drugs used to prevent blood clots from forming in the body. they work by decreasing the blood's ability to clot, which can help reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular diseases. anticoagulants work by inhibiting the activity of certain clotting factors in the blood, such as thrombin and fibrinogen, and by blocking the action of platelets which help form clots.
What happens during the disease - anticoagulants
Anticoagulants work by interfering with the body's ability to form blood clots. this can lead to a decrease in the formation of thrombi, which are blood clots that form in the vessels. this can lead to an increased risk of bleeding and bruising, which can be dangerous if left untreated. in addition, it can lead to an increased risk of stroke, heart attack, and other serious complications.

Anticoagulants - Prevention
Anticoagulants are medications that can be used to prevent blood clots from forming or to prevent existing clots from getting larger. they can be taken orally or injected, and are often prescribed to people who are at risk for stroke, heart attack, or other cardiovascular events. to prevent these conditions, it is important to take anticoagulants as prescribed and to monitor blood tests regularly to ensure that the correct dosage is being taken.
