Warf 1mg is an anticoagulant medication used to prevent blood clots and treat various conditions related to blood clot formation, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and atrial fibrillation (AF). It works by inhibiting the action of vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting. This helps to reduce the risk of clot formation, stroke, or heart attack. Warf 1mg is typically prescribed to individuals at risk for blood clots or those who have experienced previous clot-related conditions.
