Warfarin is a medication used to prevent blood clots. It is prescribed when there is a risk of clots forming in your blood vessels, which can lead to serious conditions like strokes, heart attacks, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Warfarin helps keep your blood flowing smoothly and reduces the chances of these dangerous clots forming. Your doctor may prescribe it if you have certain heart conditions, have had blood clots before, or need protection against clotting for other medical reasons. Always take it as directed by your healthcare provider to stay safe and healthy.
