Rodenticides -Warfarin

Warfarin is an oral anticoagulant medication commonly used to prevent and treat blood clots. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of vitamin K–dependent clotting factors in the liver, which are essential for blood coagulation. Warfarin is often prescribed for conditions such as atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and for patients with mechanical heart valves to reduce the risk of stroke and other clot-related complications.

Because its effect can be influenced by diet, other medications, and health conditions, patients on Warfarin require regular blood tests (INR monitoring) to ensure their blood clotting ability stays within a safe range. Careful dose management is essential to balance the risk of bleeding with the risk of clot formation.
