Overview Afogatran 110 Capsule

A 110mg Afogatran capsule functions as an anticoagulant, preventing and treating blood clots to mitigate stroke and heart attack risk. This medication inhibits clot formation in leg, lung, brain, and heart veins. It's frequently prescribed for atrial fibrillation patients to prevent clots and is also used post-knee or hip replacement to reduce clotting risk. Administer with or without food, consistently at the same time daily. Long-term, even lifelong, use may be necessary; discontinuing or altering dosage without physician consultation significantly increases stroke, heart attack, or thrombosis risk. Lifestyle modifications—such as abstaining from smoking, adopting a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management—further reduce clotting risk. Common side effects include gastrointestinal upset and increased bleeding propensity (e.g., nosebleeds, bruising). Report any adverse effects promptly. Other potential side effects encompass headaches, seizures, allergic responses, visual disturbances, and fatigue. Contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic or renal impairment, active bleeding, or concurrent use of other anticoagulants. Breastfeeding is not advised during treatment. Unlike many anticoagulants, routine PT-INR monitoring isn't required.
