Marevan ( Warfarin ) 5 MG

Marevan (Warfarin) 5 MG Tablets.

Marevan is a prescription medication containing warfarin, an anticoagulant used to prevent and treat blood clots. These clots can form in the legs, lungs, brain, or heart, and if left untreated, they can cause serious conditions like deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or even heart attacks and strokes. Warfarin works by interfering with the formation of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. This means your blood will take longer to form clots, reducing the risk of harmful clots.

Marevan tablets come in three strengths: 1 mg, 3 mg, and 5 mg. The 5 mg tablets are pink in color and are engraved with “DF/M5” on one side. Each tablet contains warfarin sodium as the active ingredient and other excipients like sodium starch glycolate and magnesium.

It is crucial to take Marevan exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not increase your dose without consulting your healthcare provider, as this can lead to adverse effects. Regular blood tests are necessary to ensure your dose is correct and to monitor any potential side effects.

If you have any questions or concerns about taking Marevan, it is essential to discuss them with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse. Always store the medication in a secure location, such as a locked cupboard at least one-and-a-half meters above the ground.
