Blood thinners or anticoagulants: side effects
-
Blood thinners is the term commonly used for drugs that prevent blood from clotting. Blood thinning drugs or anticoagulants are administered when a too rapid blood clotting causes problems, such as in the prevention or treatment of thrombosis. This can be done by injection of an anti-coagulant or by taking a pill orally. The different types of anticoagulants are available on the market under several brand names, such as Clexane or Xarelto. If you are taking medications that thin the blood, you should always be careful when you hurt yourself and get a wound. In that case, you run the risk that the bleeding will be difficult to stop. How are blood thinners or anticoagulants used and what are the possible side effects?
What are blood thinning drugs?
-
Blood thinners is a term colloquially used to refer to drugs that slow down clotting in the blood. In fact, there is no change in the viscosity or viscousness of the blood; so strictly speaking it does not get thinner. A term that better describes what it means is, in fact, "anticoagulant".

Function of blood thinners
-
In order for the human body to function optimally, there must be a good balance between the coagulation and the coagulation of the blood. If the balance tends to clot too much, you will bleed too quickly and too much if you injure yourself. For example, if the blood clotting is too weak, you will bleed like a cow when you cut your finger. On the other hand, if your blood starts to clot too quickly, there may be a risk to the circulation. You may be at risk of developing a blood clot, which can be life-threatening.

When to use blood thinners?
-
Lack of exercise If you are in hospital for an illness or condition and have to stay in bed, the attending physician can prescribe an anticoagulant as a precaution. This is to prevent blood clots from forming due to lack of exercise. For the same reason, some people inject a blood thinning drug just before going on a long plane flight, especially on a so-called "thrombosis leg"
