What drugs are anticoagulants?
Warfarin, coumadin, heparin and others. Anticoagulants are referred to as "blood thinners" even though they do not actually effect the viscosity of the blood instead they act on the liver to prevent blood from clotting in high risk patients such as those who have been bed ridden for a prolonged period of time or have undergone surgery. (to correct the previous answer asprin is not an anticoagulant)

What is drug given to patients to prevent formation of clots?
This depends on the location and severity of the clot, among other things. If the patient has a deep vein thrombosis, they will be placed on a form of heparin in order to 'thin' the blood to prevent further growth of the clot and to prevent additional clot formation. Heparin will continue until the patient has been taking Coumadin (Warfarin) for a few days as it takes time for the therapeutic level to be reached. Once the patient is at the desired clotting time with Coumadin, the heparin will be discontinued. The clot is often left to dissolve over time and the patient continues coumadin for several months, or for the rest of their life depending on the cause of the clot and their comorbidities. If the clot needs to be removed, it can be removed surgically. If a clot needs dissolved, as with an ischemic stroke or a heart attack - clot busting drugs like alteplase can be given. Unlike heparin/coumadin, this type of drug actually breaks down the clot - and all other clots in the body.
Can a person who is prescribed for Coumadin eat honey?
Yes, honey can be eaten by a person who is prescribed for Coumadin.Specifically, the medication in question acts to regulate blood circulation. The person who takes Coumadin dosages has to be aware of vitamin K levels which facilitate blood-thinning and obstruct blood clot formation. Honey is high in salicylates, which are not conducive to blood clotting.
Why menstrual do not clot?
Menstrual blood has fewer platelets than normal blood because if it was to clot it would be detrimental to the process. If menstrual blood were to clot like normal blood it would inhibit the blood leaving the uterus.

Can plasmin inhibit hemostasis?
Yes, plasmin can inhibit hemostasis. It is an enzyme that breaks down fibrin in blood clots, a process known as fibrinolysis. By degrading fibrin, plasmin can disrupt the stability of a clot and potentially lead to bleeding. This function is crucial in the regulation of clot formation and dissolution, ensuring that hemostasis is balanced and does not result in excessive clotting.

What is the medical term formation of blood clot?
Coagulation and thrombosis both refer to the formation of blood clots.
What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic blood clot formation?
Intrinsic blood clot formation occurs due to factors within the blood vessels, such as damage to the vessel wall or abnormal blood flow. Extrinsic blood clot formation, on the other hand, is triggered by external factors outside the blood vessels, such as trauma or surgery. Both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways ultimately lead to the formation of a blood clot, which is a normal response to prevent excessive bleeding.
