Marevan 1 Mg 102 Tablets

Marevan 1 Mg 102 Tablets

Description:

Marevan 1 mg 102 tablets is a prescription oral anticoagulant medicine containing warfarin, a vitamin k antagonist used to prevent and treat blood clots. It is commonly prescribed for long-term anticoagulation in patients at risk of thromboembolic events such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and stroke related to atrial fibrillation or heart valve disease. Marevan is manufactured by Glaxo SmithKline and is intended for adult use under strict medical supervision, with regular blood monitoring (INR) to adjust the dose and maintain safe and effective anticoagulation.

Indications:

• Prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
• Treatment and secondary prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE).
• Prevention of thromboembolic stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation.
• Prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with rheumatic heart disease or prosthetic heart valves, as directed by a cardiologist.
• Prevention of recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and ischemic stroke of cardioembolic origin, when anticoagulation is indicated.
• Other conditions where long-term oral anticoagulation with a vitamin k antagonist is recommended by a specialist physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Warfarin sodium – 1 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: Information on inactive ingredients (such as fillers, binders, colorants, and preservatives) is not available in the provided data; please refer to the official package leaflet for the full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Marevan 1 mg tablets must be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor; never adjust the dose on your own.
• The usual starting and maintenance dose varies between individuals and is determined based on regular blood tests (INR – International Normalized Ratio).
• Tablets are taken orally once daily, preferably at the same time each day, with or without food, with a glass of water.
• Your doctor will adjust the dose to maintain your INR within the target therapeutic range (commonly 2.0–3.0 or as individually specified).
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
• Regular INR monitoring is essential, especially when starting treatment, changing dose, adding or stopping other medications, or changing diet significantly.
• Do not stop taking Marevan abruptly without medical advice, as this may increase your risk of blood clots.
• Avoid major sudden changes in dietary vitamin k intake (e.g., large changes in consumption of green leafy vegetables) without consulting your doctor, as this can affect warfarin activity.

Clinical Benefits:

• Reduces the risk of formation and growth of dangerous blood clots in veins and arteries.
• Helps prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, lowering the risk of life-threatening complications.
• Decreases the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation or heart valve disease.
• Provides long-term, adjustable oral anticoagulation with well-established clinical evidence and monitoring via INR.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Marevan (warfarin) can cause serious, potentially fatal bleeding; it must only be used under medical supervision with regular INR monitoring.
• Contraindicated in patients with active major bleeding, severe uncontrolled hypertension, recent major surgery with high bleeding risk, severe liver disease, or known hypersensitivity to warfarin or any component of the product.
• Contraindicated during pregnancy (especially first trimester and near term) due to risk of fetal harm and bleeding; alternative anticoagulation should be considered. If pregnancy occurs while on warfarin, contact your doctor immediately.
• Use with caution in patients with history of gastrointestinal bleeding, peptic ulcer, bleeding disorders, recent stroke, severe kidney or liver impairment, or alcohol misuse.
• Warfarin interacts with many medicines (e.g., antibiotics, antifungals, antiplatelets, NSAIDs, some heart and epilepsy medicines, herbal products like ginkgo, St. John’s wort); always inform your doctor and pharmacist of all medications and supplements you use.
• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it may alter warfarin effect and increase bleeding risk.
• Inform all healthcare providers, including dentists and surgeons, that you are taking warfarin before any procedure or surgery.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as liver disease, kidney disease, hypertension, bleeding disorders, peptic ulcer, or recent surgery.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease on its own; it is a prescription medicine used as part of a physician-directed treatment plan.
• Keep out of reach of children.
