ANTICOAGULANTS (Systemic)
Description
Anticoagulants such as Acenocoumarol (Sintrom, Sinthrome) decrease the clotting ability of the blood and therefore help to prevent harmful clots from forming in the blood vessels. These medicines are sometimes called blood thinners although they do not actually thin the blood. They also will not dissolve clots that already have formed but they may prevent the clots from becoming larger and causing more serious problems. They are often used as treatment for certain blood vessel, heart and lung conditions.
In order for an anticoagulant to help you without causing serious bleeding, it must be used properly and all of the precautions concerning its use must be followed exactly. Be sure that you have discussed the use of this medicine with your doctor. It is very important that you understand all of your doctor\'s orders and that you are willing and able to follow them exactly.
Before Using This Medicine
For Acenocoumarol (Sintrom, Sinthrome) the following should be considered:
Allergies
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to an anticoagulant. Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances such as foods, preservatives or dyes.
Pregnancy
Acenocoumarol (Sintrom, Sinthrome) may cause birth defects. It may also cause other problems affecting the physical or mental growth of the fetus or newborn baby. In addition use of this medicine during the last 6 months of pregnancy may increase the chance of severe, possibly fatal bleeding in the fetus. If taken during the last few weeks of pregnancy, anticoagulants may cause severe bleeding in both the fetus and the mother before or during delivery and in the newborn infant.
Do not begin taking this medicine during pregnancy and do not become pregnant while taking it, unless you have first discussed the possible effects of this medicine with your doctor. Also, if you suspect that you may be pregnant and you are already taking an anticoagulant, check with your doctor at once. Your doctor may suggest that you take a different anticoagulant that is less likely to harm the fetus or the newborn infant during all or part of your pregnancy. Anticoagulants may also cause severe bleeding in the mother if taken soon after the baby is born.
Breast feeding
Acenocoumarol (Sintrom, Sinthrome) is not likely to cause problems in nursing babies. Other anticoagulants may pass into the breast milk. A blood test can be done to see if unwanted effects are occurring in the nursing baby. If necessary, another medicine that will overcome any unwanted effects of the anticoagulant can be given to the baby.
Children
Very young babies may be especially sensitive to the effects of anticoagulants. This may increase the chance of bleeding during treatment.
Older Adults
Elderly people are especially sensitive to the effects of anticoagulants. This may increase the chance of bleeding during treatment.
