Acitrom 3 Tablet contains Nicoumalone (3 mg), which functions in your body as follows:

• Inhibits Vitamin K-dependent Clotting Factors: Nicoumalone works by blocking the synthesis of certain proteins in your liver that are dependent on vitamin K. These include clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X.

• Reduces Blood Clot Formation: By restricting these clotting factors, Nicoumalone effectively increases the time it takes for blood to clot. This action reduces the risk of unwanted blood clot formation within your body.
