Nimalin 4mg Tablet contains Acenocoumarol, an oral anticoagulant (blood thinner) used to prevent and treat harmful blood clots. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation or mechanical heart valves. Acenocoumarol works by interfering with the production of vitamin K–dependent clotting factors, making the blood less likely to clot. Regular monitoring of INR (International Normalized Ratio) is essential to maintain therapeutic effect and avoid complications.
