What is an "anticoagulant"?
An anticoagulant is a type of medication that helps prevent blood clotting. Anticoagulants work by slowing down the clotting process in the blood, thereby reducing the risk of blood clots forming in the arteries or veins. These medications are prescribed by healthcare providers to treat or prevent conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke, and heart attack.
