Decoagulant
Decoagulant is a type of medication that works to inhibit the clotting of blood. This is done by reducing the ability of the blood to form clots. This type of medication is typically used to prevent or treat blood clots that can occur in the veins or arteries. It is also sometimes used to help reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack. Decoagulants can be used for a number of medical conditions, such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and atrial fibrillation. The most common type of decoagulant is warfarin, which works by blocking the production of certain clotting factors. Other types of decoagulants include heparin, which works by inhibiting the enzyme thrombin, and aspirin, which works by blocking the activity of thromboxane A2, a substance that helps to form clots.
