Unifarin Tablet 2.5 mg contains Warfarin Sodium, an oral anticoagulant used to prevent and treat blood clots. Blood clots can form in blood vessels and block normal blood flow, potentially leading to serious medical conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, stroke, and heart complications. Warfarin helps reduce the blood’s tendency to clot, thereby lowering the risk of these dangerous conditions.

This medication is often prescribed to patients with conditions that increase the likelihood of clot formation, including atrial fibrillation, artificial heart valves, or a history of previous blood clots. It may also be used following certain surgeries or medical procedures where there is a higher risk of clot development.

Warfarin therapy requires careful medical supervision because the correct dose varies from person to person. Doctors typically monitor the International Normalized Ratio (INR) through regular blood tests to ensure that the medication is working effectively while minimizing the risk of bleeding.

Composition

Each tablet contains:
Warfarin Sodium – 2.5 mg

Indications

Unifarin Tablet 2.5 mg is indicated for:

• Prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

• Prevention of pulmonary embolism

• Prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation

• Prevention of blood clot formation in patients with prosthetic heart valves

• Management of other conditions associated with abnormal blood clotting

Mechanism of Action

Warfarin Sodium works by inhibiting the action of vitamin K, which plays a vital role in the formation of clotting factors in the liver. These clotting factors, including factors II, VII, IX, and X, are necessary for normal blood clot formation.

By blocking vitamin K activity, Warfarin reduces the production of these clotting factors, resulting in slower blood clotting. This effect helps prevent the formation and growth of dangerous clots within blood vessels.
