Benefits

In Treatment and Prevention of Blood Clots

Argatroban 250 mg is an anticoagulant that prevents blood clots from growing larger, allowing your body to dissolve them naturally over time. It also prevents new clots from forming by blocking a substance responsible for blood clotting. This ensures proper blood flow and reduces the likelihood of clots forming inside blood vessels.

The medication helps prevent or reduce damage caused by stroke, pulmonary embolism, or thrombosis. It also lowers the risk of parts of a clot breaking off and traveling to other areas of the body. Administered as an infusion under medical supervision, lifestyle changes can further improve the effectiveness of this treatment.
