About Nicotrom-1Mg Tablet 10'S

Nicotrom-1Mg Tablet 10'S belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinners. Nicotrom-1Mg Tablet 10'S is primarily used to prevent and treat various types of thromboembolic diseases (blood clots inside blood vessels), including deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung). Deep vein thrombosis is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins, usually in the legs. Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which a blood clot blocks the arteries in the lungs.

Nicotrom-1Mg Tablet 10'S is prescribed to prevent unwanted clots from forming if you have a condition that puts you at risk of this happening, such as atrial fibrillation, or if you have had a heart valve replacement. It is also given to prevent any clots that may have already formed in the blood vessels of your legs, lungs, or heart from becoming larger and causing problems. Nicotrom-1Mg Tablet 10'S works by increases the time it takes for your blood to clot, reducing the risk of a stroke or heart attack. This medication helps keep blood flowing smoothly in your body by decreasing the amount/number of clotting proteins in the blood. Nicotrom-1Mg Tablet 10'S does not dissolve blood clots that have already formed, but it may stop the clots from becoming larger and causing more serious problems.

Take Nicotrom-1Mg Tablet 10'S, preferably with or without food and swallow whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. Some people may experience unusual bleeding or skin rash. Most of these side effects of Nicotrom-1Mg Tablet 10'S do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
