Basic Information On Sintrom
Sintrom is used to prevent and treat blood clots in the veins. It is a blood thinner (anti coagulant) which helps the patients with thrombotic disorder. In this condition, normal flow of blood is obstructed, which leads to the formation of abnormal clots within the blood vessels and lungs. It does not dissolve the clots but prevents new clots from forming and stops existing clots from getting bigger. The Sintrom drug is also used to treat atrial fibrillation (an abnormal heart rhythm) linked with blood clots, and transient ischemic attacks, also called mini strokes. It works partly by obstructing the reuse of vitamin K in the liver. Vitamin K is needed by the body to help the blood coagulate and stop bleeding.
