Unifarin Tablet 5 mg contains Warfarin Sodium, a potent oral anticoagulant used to prevent and treat blood clots. Blood clots can obstruct normal blood flow and lead to severe medical conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, stroke, and cardiovascular complications. Warfarin helps reduce the blood’s ability to clot, thereby minimizing the risk of these life-threatening events.

This medication is commonly prescribed for patients at high risk of clot formation, including those with atrial fibrillation, prosthetic heart valves, or a history of thromboembolic disorders. Warfarin may also be administered after specific surgeries to prevent clot development. Its use requires careful medical supervision and regular monitoring to maintain a safe and effective anticoagulation level.

Composition

Each tablet contains:
Warfarin Sodium – 5 mg

Indications

Unifarin Tablet 5 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 clot formation in patients with prosthetic heart valves

• Management of conditions associated with abnormal clotting or thromboembolic risk

Mechanism of Action

Warfarin Sodium works by inhibiting vitamin K–dependent synthesis of clotting factors in the liver, including factors II, VII, IX, and X. These clotting factors are essential for normal blood coagulation. By reducing their production, Warfarin slows the clotting process, helping to prevent the formation and growth of harmful blood clots.
