Question

What component of the blood does Warfarin affect

Answer 1

Answer: These drugs are often used to treat similar conditions.

Warfarin works by stopping your body from forming blood clots. It does this by blocking the formation of blood clotting factors, which are needed to make clots.

Answer 2

Anticoagulants such as heparin or warfarin (also called Coumadin) slow down your body's process of making clots. Antiplatelet drugs, such as aspirin, prevent blood cells called platelets from clumping together to form a clot. When you take a blood thinner, follow directions carefully.
