Main Uses

Acenocoumarol is prescribed to prevent and treat thromboembolic disorders, including situations involving deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and thromboembolic risk associated with atrial fibrillation or certain heart-valve conditions.

How Acenocoumarol Works

Acenocoumarol reduces vitamin-K-dependent activation of several clotting factors, including factors II, VII, IX and X. This produces an anticoagulant effect that reduces the formation and extension of blood clots.
