How can I choose the best alternative for warfarin?
Warfarin is a strong anticoagulant medicine and a patient who has been prescribed this drug should choose an alternative for Warfarin to consulting with their doctors. There are generic equivalents of warfarin, are available in most regions and can be safely replaced by warfarin. Since 2000, several new drugs have been approved, which serve some of the same features as warfarin, but with fewer side effects or with other advantages. A patient who currently takes Warfarin may want to consult with his doctor to see if one of these new medicines is a viable alternative for Warfarin. It is originally used as a form of a rat, but in humans it has therapeutic properties when it is accepted in carefully controlled doses. Warfarin works by limiting the ability of blood to clot. This is very useful in preventing blood clots, especially in patients with heart problems, artificial limbs or organs or predisposition to move. IfD, however, is given too much medicine, it can cause many serious or fatal complications and even common side effects of warfarin can be very serious.
Many different companies produce this medicine. Any drug containing warfarin must have chemically identical active ingredients. As a result, a patient who has been issued a prescription for one Warfarin brand should not be afraid if the pharmacist recommends another diversity of the same drug. A substitute medicine of this kind is not a real alternative for warfarin, but simply another brand of the same drug.
Recent medical research has created several drugs that have in some cases the potential to replace warfarin. These drugs usually have fewer side effects and their side effects are generally less severe than tapped with warfarin itself. Drug manufacturers focus on drugs with less rigous dosage requirements because Warfarin requires constant andCareful monitoring to ensure efficiency and safety. Newer anticoagulants brought to the market at the beginning of 2000 have fewer drug interactions and remain more stable in the body.
Some patients are interested in finding a herbal or natural alternative for Warfarin. Some natural substances have anticoagulant properties, but no one can serve as a safe and effective alternative for warfarin. The patient should not try to replace the Warfarin course without the first consultation with the doctor.
