Warfarin is a type of anticoagulant. It is used to prevent harmful blood clots from forming within the body. Patients taking warfarin will need to have regular blood tests in order to ensure that their INR (international normalized ratio) falls within normal range; otherwise they have a risk of excessive bleeding.
