What Are Anticoagulants and Antiplatelet Agents?
Anticoagulants are drugs that are given to prevent your blood from clotting or prevent
existing clots from getting larger. They can keep harmful clots from forming in your heart, veins or
arteries. Clots can block blood flow and cause a heart attack or stroke.
Common names for anticoagulants are:
“warfarin” and “heparin.”
• You must take anticoagulants just the way your doctor tells you.
• Regular blood tests tell your doctor how the anticoagulants are working.
• You must tell other doctors and dentists that you’re taking anticoagulants.
• Never take aspirin with anticoagulants unless your doctor tells you to.
• Ask your doctor before taking anything else —
such as vitamins, cold medicine, sleeping pills or antibiotics. These can make anticoagulants
stronger or weaker, which can be dangerous.
What should I know about anticoagulants?
If you do as your doctor tells you, there probably won’t be problems. But you must tell your doctor
right away if:
• Your urine turns red or dark brown.
• Your stools turn red, dark brown or black.
• You bleed more than normal when you have your period.
• Your gums bleed.
• You have a very bad headache or stomach pain that doesn’t go away.
• You get sick or feel weak, faint or dizzy.
• You think you’re pregnant.
• You often find bruises or blood blisters.
• You have an accident of any kind.
Could anticoagulants cause problems?
These drugs, such as aspirin, keep blood clots from forming. Many doctors now prescribe aspirin to
heart patients for this reason. Aspirin can save your life if you have heart problems.
You don’t need a prescription to get it, but it’s just as important as any other medicine your doctor tells
you to take. You must use it just as you’re told.
