Warf 1 mg Tablet (Warfarin 1mg)

Warf-1 Tablet 30’s belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinner. Warf-1 Tablet 30’s is primarily used to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung) by reducing the formation of a blood clot. Warf-1 Tablet 30’s works by inhibiting the production of clotting factors by decreasing the action of vitamin K.
