Indication

Suitable for patients who need long-term continuous anticoagulation: ① It can prevent the formation and development of blood clots and is used to treat thromboembolic diseases; ② It can treat venous thrombosis after surgery or trauma, and can be used as an auxiliary medication for myocardial infarction; ③ It can be used as a preventive medication for patients who have had thromboembolic diseases and those who are at risk of postoperative thrombotic complications.

Usage and Dosage

Oral administration, common dosage for adults: Avoid shock treatment, take 3-4 mg orally on the first to third days (half the dose is sufficient for the elderly, the weak and diabetic patients), and after three days, give a maintenance dose of 2.5-5 mg per day (the dose can be adjusted with reference to the coagulation time to make the INR value reach 2-3). Because this product takes effect slowly, a transient hypercoagulable state may exist in the first three days of treatment due to the inhibition of plasma anticoagulant protein cells. If an anticoagulant effect is required immediately, heparin can be used at the same time at the beginning, and heparin can be discontinued after this product fully exerts its anticoagulant effect.

Overdose can easily cause various bleeding. Early manifestations include ecchymosis, purpura, gingival bleeding, epistaxis, prolonged wound bleeding, and excessive menstrual flow. Bleeding can occur in any part, especially the urinary and digestive tracts. Intestinal wall hematoma can cause subacute intestinal obstruction, and subdural intracranial hematoma and puncture site hematoma can also be seen. Occasional adverse reactions include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, itchy rash, allergic reactions and skin necrosis. Large amounts of oral administration may even cause bilateral breast necrosis, microangiopathy or hemolytic anemia, and extensive skin gangrene; excessive doses at one time are especially dangerous.
