Acenocoumarol is an anticoagulant that functions as a vitamin K antagonist (like warfarin). It is a derivative of coumarin and is marketed under the brand names Sintrom and Sinthrome.
Acenocoumarol is an anticoagulant medication, i.e., one that prevents the formation of blood clots, that works in a similar manner as warfarin by altering the action of vitamin K. It is used for the prevention of dangerous blood clots in individuals with disorders such as deep vein thrombosis and congestive heart failure. It interacts with a large number of other medications and should not be taken by pregnant women or those with medical conditions such as hemophilia, certain cancers, and other blood disorders. Side effects can be dangerous — such as uncontrollable bleeding — or milder including loss of appetite or bloating.
