Warfarin is the generic name and the Coumadin is the brand name of the medicine that prevents blood clots or stops the clots getting bigger by thinning blood. The blood clots can break away and travel to various parts of the body. Instead of injections like heparin, warfarin can b taken by mouth. This is the reason why coumadin has become so popular in recent times. If you use Coumadin, you will still heal from cuts, but it may take longer.
Reasons for warfarin use:
1. At risk for forming a blood clot.
2. Have an existing blood clot.
3. Has Atrial Fibrillation
The video then goes on to explain Atrial Fibrillation in detail.
