Anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents are
medicines that reduce blood clotting in an
artery, a vein or the heart. Clots can block
the blood flow to your heart muscle and
cause a heart attack. They can also block
blood flow to your brain, causing a stroke.
What should I know about anticoagulants?
Anticoagulants are drugs that are given to prevent your
blood from clotting or prevent existing clots from getting
larger. They can keep harmful clots from forming in your
heart, veins or arteries. Clots can block blood flow and
cause a heart attack or stroke.
• Common names for anticoagulants are “warfarin”
and “heparin.”
• You must take anticoagulants just the way your doctor
tells you.
• Regular blood tests tell your doctor how the
anticoagulants are working.
• You must tell other doctors and dentists that you’re
taking anticoagulants.
• Ask your doctor before taking anything else — such as
vitamins, cold medicine, sleeping pills or antibiotics.
These can make anticoagulants stronger or weaker,
which can be dangerous.
• Tell your family how you take them and carry an
emergency medical ID card.
Aspirin can save your life if you have heart problems.
You don’t need a prescription to get it, but it’s just as
important as any other medicine your doctor tells you
to take. You must use it just as you’re told.
Aspirin:
• Helps keep blood from clotting.
• Has been shown to reduce the risk of a heart attack,
stroke or TIA.
• Should not be taken with anticoagulants unless your
doctor tells you to.
• M ust be used as your doctor orders — most often in smal l
doses every day or every other day if you already have
cardiovascular disease (CVD) or are at high risk for CVD.
• Might not be taken while you’re having surgery.
What should I know about
antiplatelet agents?
These drugs, such as aspirin, keep blood clots from
forming. Many doctors now prescribe aspirin to heart
patients for this reason.
