Antithrombotic Drugs: Preventing Blood Clots and Their Life-Threatening Consequences
Antithrombotic drugs prevent dangerous blood clots in high-risk individuals, such as those with atrial fibrillation or stents, by targeting either fibrin (anticoagulants) or platelets (antiplatelets); dosage and duration vary based on individual needs and potential risks like bleeding.
