Benefits:
- Effectively prevents the formation of blood clots, reducing the risk of complications such as stroke, pulmonary embolism, and thromboembolism.
- Helps maintain proper blood flow and circulation in patients with conditions predisposing them to clot formation.
Side Effects:

- Allergic reactions such as itching, rash, or difficulty breathing may occur, although rare.
Safety Advice:
- Take the medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
- Regular monitoring of blood clotting parameters such as INR (International Normalized Ratio) is necessary to ensure the medication’s effectiveness and safety.
- Inform healthcare providers about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins, as they may interact with nicoumalone.
