Unifarin Tablet 2 mg contains Warfarin Sodium, a widely used oral anticoagulant that helps prevent the formation of harmful blood clots. Blood clots can block blood vessels and lead to serious medical conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, heart attack, and stroke. Warfarin works by reducing the blood’s ability to clot, thereby helping maintain normal blood flow through the blood vessels.

This medication is commonly prescribed for patients who have conditions that increase their risk of clot formation, such as atrial fibrillation, artificial heart valves, or a history of blood clots. It may also be used after certain surgical procedures to reduce the risk of clot development.

Because Warfarin affects the body’s clotting system, careful monitoring through blood tests is required to ensure safe and effective treatment. Doctors typically monitor the International Normalized Ratio (INR) to determine whether the dose is appropriate for each patient.

Composition

Each tablet contains:
Warfarin Sodium – 2 mg

Indications

Unifarin Tablet 2 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 clots in patients with prosthetic or artificial heart valves

• Management of conditions associated with increased risk of clot formation

Mechanism of Action

Warfarin Sodium works by inhibiting the action of vitamin K in the body. Vitamin K is essential for the production of several clotting factors in the liver, including factors II, VII, IX, and X. These clotting factors play a critical role in the normal blood clotting process.

By reducing the production of these vitamin K–dependent clotting factors, Warfarin prolongs the time it takes for blood to clot. This helps prevent the formation and growth of harmful clots within the blood vessels.

Dosage and Administration

Unifarin Tablet should be taken strictly according to the instructions of a healthcare professional.

• The dosage is individualized based on the patient’s medical condition and INR test results.

• Tablets are usually taken once daily at the same time each day.

• Regular blood tests are required to monitor treatment effectiveness and safety.

• Patients should not change the dose or stop taking the medication without consulting their doctor.

Maintaining a consistent diet, particularly regarding foods rich in vitamin K, is important during Warfarin therapy.
