You should follow the doctor's instructions on what you should use.

While Aspirin can cause blood thinning, it doesn't work in the same manner and may not be as effective for your problem as the Acitrom.

The Acitrom contains the active ingredient Acenocoumarol, it is a vitamin K antagonist, that's how it works as an anticoagulant, so it's not actually a typical blood thinner.

You should be careful of what you eat, because with a clotting problem, you need to avoid taking in too much Vitamin K, so you should also check your vitamins to see if they contain any.

It can also increase the risk of bleeding, so you need to be careful of injury and, if one occurs, seek medical attention.

Are there any other questions?

1. Acitrom is very useful in preventing blood clots by it's antiicaogulation action.Iam taking same with PT/INR monitoring for last 6 months.
2. My son in Law (cardiologist in US) and my Doctor have recently advised me to stop the same while I would be continuing Ecospirin and other cardiac drugs indefinitely.
3. Please ensure Strict Diet control and avioid certain vegetables when on Acitrom.
4. Regular Exercise & Ramdeo Maharaj Pranyam has helped me greatly . Hope it will be of use to you.

GOD BLESS

I have undergone Aortic Valve Regurgisation (AVR) surgery in Jan. 2000 at AIIMS at the then age of 52 yrs. After initial 2-3 years of regular post operative care there itself, dosage for the two medicines was fixed as 5 mg of Acitrom daily and .25mg of Digoxin (Lanoxin) for 5 days a week. Till last check up recently at AIIMS only, i was taking the same dosage of the prescribed medication as mentioned above. Inspite of my complaining of continuous non-stop Hissing sound, in both of my ears initially and later on more profoundly in left ear, no doctor paid any serious attention to my problem. Rather advised me to get my ears examined and, if need be, get them cleansed of wax from an ENT specialist. I did so and got my ear wax removed from a good ENT specialist last year, followed by the prescribed medication for the problem of Hissing sound for about a month but to no avail. thereafter i left any further treatment for the problem.
Another problem, though i had been noticing but not taking it seriously (assuming as being an ageing effect) was that of ED. It was only this year that a few days before the time of Annual check up i came across a "confirming to my problem" opinion of a doctor about the side effects of Digoxin in a general nature book on the Home remedies (a compilation by the reputed Reader's Digest) and so i discussed the problem of ED with the Doctor on duty in the AIIMS OPD, along with another minor problem of feeling Numbness in and around thumb of my right foot for about 1 and half year or so and more serious numbness along with pain in the left leg, below knee and more profusely in the sole of the right leg, after walking for about half a kilometer, for almost a month or so. But the attending doctor did not seem to be very serious for any of the obsevations narratedd to him. Rather he questioned me about the ground for taking Digoxin. Not being with any Medical ground, I could not explain him the reason except that 'as told by the Surgeon after the Valve replacement surgery this was to take care of the extra ordinarily enlarged heart". There upon he advised me to gradually taper off the dosage from 5 days a week to alternate days for 2 weeks and stop taking the Digoxin thereafter all together. He also prescribed another medicine "Calaptin" twice daily in place of Digoxin. He also advised for an ECHO test from a good Pvt. lab befor visiting him after a fortnight. I got the Echo test done from a reputed Lab owned by a renowned Cardiologist and also had a consultation for the sake of a second opinion. He also prescribed for stoppage of Digoxin and start of Calaptin with immediate effect. On telling him my other related problems and observations he also prescribed another medicine Remylin D once daily for the problem of numbness cum pain in my right leg and foo for three months initially. I was also advised by both AIIMS doctor and the Pvt. cardiologist for a quarterly check up (instead of Annual so far) with PT test of blood and follow up treatment.
I am taking the prescribed trtmt. now but with only an insignificant improvement in my existing problems, rather facing another problem of joint pains more prominently in my left leg within and below knee and in all other joints like ankles, knees and slightly in the arms and hands too, for the last about three weeks. This problem of Joint pains ( identified as 'Gout' with more than safe limit of Uric Acid in my Blood) had been very significant earlier too after about a year or two after the main surgery of AVR but i got a comfortable control over the same with some specific Yoga Aasans and some diet control (Very limited intake of Cauliflower, Brinjals, Pumpkin and whole grain beans and lentils and no intake of Mushrooms at all). But now with the changed medication it appears as if i am again suffering from the same problem of Gout. I don't think any of the doctors shall agree to my observations or at the most may prescribe another additional medication like Zyloric or so if Uric acid in my blood is found beyond safe limits. To which I am sure there must be some other serious side effect and for that i may heve to go for another medication AND SO ON THE medications shall keep on adding thus making my remaining life (presently being 63 yrs.) a HELL only. Can any body help me with a "free of serious side effects" at least any remedy for my problems please?
I shall be extremely and whole heartedly thankfull to him/her.

I had an aortic metallic valve replacement in 2005, I am on Acitrom 3 earlier & presently with acitrom 4 only in the recent times. My age is 71 years.. In the last 6 months I have been suffering with acute pain and numbness on my left thigh transmitting up to my toe which has made my leg difficult to walk straight without bending my back.
There was no ortho problem as checked with various ortho doctors during various diagnosis tests.. The outcome of various tests by ortho suggested spinal stenosis. No pain killer was relieving me either.. I went to Neuro recently and was suggested that pain could be due to Neuropathic pain and was prescribed with Gabapin and vitamin supplement Rich Neuron.
Whether consuming Gabapin will affect my metallic valve with Acitrom 4 on ? Whether some one can advise me ?

I had AVR in 2009. My current age is 25 and now I'm taking warfarin 5mg and 7mg alternatively..but since 4 years I was taking acetrom and dose was between 3 to 4mg. it didn't exceed that, but from 2 months the pt inr was not normal so my doctor has changed it to warfarin 5mg and 7 mg alternatively. So I want to know whether acetrom was better than warfarin..I'm asking you this question because I searched about warfarin and suggestions showing that it causes haemorage conditions. So pls guide me.
