Warfarin is a small anticoagulant drug that is used to
reduce the formation of blood clots. Most commonly, it is vitally used to
prevent heart attacks, strokes or any blood clots in arteries or veins. Warfarin
is a vitamin K antagonist. It inhibits the actions of clotting factors II, VII, IX and X in
blood. This causes depletion of vitamin K functions and slows down the rate of
blood clotting.
