"What are Anticoagulants?
Anticoagulants are medicines that increase the time it takes for blood to clot. They are commonly called blood thinners.
There are several different types of anticoagulant. Each type works at a different level on the blood coagulation pathway. Some can be given by mouth; others can only be given by injection."
