How anticoagulants work

How-anticoagulants-work_0_0

Blood thinners are drugs that help blood flow smoothly through the veins and arteries. They also protect against blood clots or, if any, from increasing them. Anticoagulants are prescribed to treat certain types of heart disease and heart defects and other conditions that may increase the risk of dangerous blood clots.

How-anticoagulants-work_0_1

Blood thinners can act in two ways. Antithrombocytes are drugs that stop cells in the blood (platelets) from clumping together and forming a clot. The formation of a blood clot, in turn, can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Aspirin is the most common antiplatelet.
