Best Answer

Warfarin (brand name "COUMADIN") is a medication is used to treat blood clots and/or to prevent new clots from forming in the body. Preventing harmful blood clots helps to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. Warfarin is commonly called a "blood thinner," but its more correct term is anticoagulant. It helps to keep blood flowing smoothly by decreasing the amount of certain substances (clotting proteins) in the blood.
