The Recall of Warfarin Sodium (Part II)

How does this medication work? Warfarin Sodium interferes with the so-called clotting factor synthesis. It inhibits Vitamin K clotting factor as well. This way, the intake of this drug may reduce the development of Vitamin K epoxide. A degree of suppression depends on the given dosage. These doses usually eliminate a total amount of the active form of this clotting factor that is made by a patient’s liver. This type of treatment was designed by a famous company Bristol-Myers Squibb. Warfarin Sodium is approved by the FDA and it is a quite a famous drug. 

This lot has been delivered to many pharmacies, which put at risk those patients who needed to use it. This medication is also known under a number of brand names, such as Waran, Coumadin, Marevan, and some others. It is an anticoagulant and many patients call it a blood thinner. But its intake doesn’t affect the thickness and viscosity of people’s blood. On the contrary, it makes their liver to produce fewer proteins that can help the blood clot. That’s why Warfarin Sodium is utilized in order to treat and prevent blood clots. Bristol-Myers Squibb: “We commit to guarantee our patients safety, so we do everything to resolve this situation fast and correctly.” This company is connected with the FDA and other relevant physicians and other clients to do everything possible to solve this issue.
