Description

Warfin (5mg) 100 Tablets by Shaigan Pharmaceuticals contains Warfarin, an oral anticoagulant commonly known as a blood thinner. It is prescribed to help prevent the formation of harmful blood clots and to stop existing clots from becoming larger. Warfarin works by reducing the body’s ability to form clots, which lowers the risk of conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), stroke associated with atrial fibrillation, and complications related to artificial heart valves. Since warfarin affects blood clotting, regular monitoring through blood tests such as the INR (International Normalized Ratio) is usually required to ensure the medicine is working safely and effectively. Always take this medicine exactly as directed by your healthcare provider and never change the dose without medical advice.

How to Use

Take Warfin exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably at the same time each day. It may be taken with or without food, but maintaining a consistent diet, particularly regarding foods rich in vitamin K, is important because they can affect how warfarin works. Never take extra doses if you miss one unless instructed by your healthcare provider. Regular INR blood tests are essential to determine whether your dose needs adjustment.

• Skin rash (less common)

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe bleeding, coughing or vomiting blood, severe headache, sudden weakness, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Warfin is generally not recommended during pregnancy because it may cause serious harm to the unborn baby unless a healthcare provider determines that the benefits outweigh the risks in exceptional circumstances. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor immediately. The use of warfarin during breastfeeding should also be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional, who can assess the potential benefits and risks based on your individual situation.
