MultiChris Warfarin 5mg Tablet x28

MultiChris Warfarin 5mg Tablet is an anticoagulant medication containing warfarin sodium. This blood thinner prevents and treats blood clots by reducing blood clotting ability, used for stroke prevention and treating thrombotic conditions.

Uses

MultiChris Warfarin prevents stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, treats deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and prevents clot formation in patients with artificial heart valves. It’s also used for preventing recurrent heart attacks and treating certain inherited clotting disorders.

Benefits

• Prevents stroke and systemic embolism effectively
• Reduces risk of recurrent blood clots
• Protects patients with artificial heart valves
• Prevents clot formation in atrial fibrillation
• Treats existing deep vein thrombosis
• Reduces risk of pulmonary embolism
• Helps prevent heart attack recurrence
• Cost-effective long-term anticoagulation option
• Well-established safety profile with proper monitoring

How It Works

MultiChris Warfarin inhibits vitamin K-dependent clotting factors (II, VII, IX, X) in the liver, reducing the blood’s ability to form clots. This anticoagulant effect prevents new clot formation and helps dissolve existing clots, maintaining blood flow through vessels and reducing thrombotic risk.

Dosage

Take MultiChris Warfarin at the same time daily, preferably evening. Dosage is individualized based on INR results and clinical response.

Duration of Action

MultiChris Warfarin begins working within 24 hours, with peak anticoagulant effect occurring in 72-96 hours. The medication’s effects last 2-5 days after discontinuation due to its long half-life. Regular INR monitoring ensures therapeutic levels are maintained safely.

Side Effects

Most common side effect is bleeding, ranging from minor bruising to serious hemorrhage. Patients may experience easy bruising, nosebleeds, or prolonged bleeding from cuts. Other effects include nausea, loss of appetite, or abdominal pain. Purple toe syndrome occurs rarely with long-term use.

Warning

MultiChris Warfarin significantly increases bleeding risk. Avoid activities with high injury potential. Seek immediate medical attention for signs of serious bleeding including severe headache, unusual bruising, blood in urine/stool, or excessive menstrual bleeding. Regular INR monitoring is essential to prevent complications.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

MultiChris Warfarin is contraindicated during pregnancy as it crosses the placenta and may cause fetal bleeding and birth defects. Pregnant women requiring anticoagulation should use heparin instead. Small amounts enter breast milk but breastfeeding is generally considered safe with monitoring.

Interaction

• Increased bleeding risk with aspirin, NSAIDs, and other anticoagulants
• Antibiotics may enhance warfarin effects significantly
• Vitamin K-rich foods reduce effectiveness
• Alcohol consumption affects warfarin metabolism
• Many medications alter warfarin levels requiring dose adjustments
• Herbal supplements may unpredictably affect anticoagulation

Precaution

Requires regular INR blood tests to monitor clotting time. Maintain consistent vitamin K intake through diet. Inform all healthcare providers about warfarin use before procedures. Carry medical alert identification. Avoid sudden dietary changes or starting new medications without medical consultation.

Important Information

MultiChris Warfarin requires lifelong medical supervision and regular blood testing. Keep all laboratory appointments for INR monitoring. Maintain consistent daily routine including diet and medication timing. Report any unusual bleeding, bruising, or symptoms immediately. Store at room temperature and keep emergency contact information readily available.
