POPSStudy: New Heart pill better than 'Plavix' The drug prevents and clears blood clots in cases of blocked arteries in heart patients, dialysis treatment, and other illnesses, where blood clotting needs to be prevented. I am taking a medication with a similar function. Warfarin Sodium, AKA Rat poison, is regulated so clotting times are specific, to prevent clots forming, however the levels can take some days to adjust, and a level too high can result in a stroke, or internal bleeding. It is used because it is the most effective mediation at the moment, and is perfectly safe if kept monitored. Aspirin also has the same anticoagulant properties. The need for drugs like these will increase with the number of elderly, and the use of prosthetics that can cause clots to be formed.
