Uses
Acitrom is an anticoagulant which thins the blood. It is prescribed to people after a recent heart attack and after heart surgery.

It is an anticoagulant and works to prevent unusual blood clots forming in the veins, lungs, and other parts of the body.

Dosage & Administration
How much you take and how often will depend on the strength of the Acitrom and your condition. Take strictly as directed by your physician.

Do not alter your dose or suddenly stop taking Acitrom without consulting your physician, even if you are feeling better. If you do, your symptoms may worsen and increase the onset of unwanted side effects.

If you forget to take a dose, skip the missed one if it is nearly time for your next dos and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed. If you miss more than one dose of Acitrom, contact your physician for advice.

Less common side effects of Acitrom include diarrhea, allergic reactions, abdominal cramps, and increased fatigue. If you experience any of these symptoms and they worry you, contact your physician.

If you overdose on this medication, contact your physician immediately or seek emergency medical treatment. Symptoms of an overdose include black stools, excessive bruising or menstrual like bleeding, and bloody urine.

Precautions
Do not take Acitrom if you are allergic to it or to any of its ingredients.

Tell your physician if you have allergies to any other medications, dyes, food, preservatives, or any other substances, if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding, and what other prescription, nonprescription, or herbal and dietary supplements you are taking.

Alcohol and products high in vitamin k (such as liver, vegetable oil, egg yolks, and leafy green vegetables) may interact adversely with Acitrom, so discuss with your physician your use of these substances while taking this medication.
