Nosebleeds due to Blood Thinners? (click play button below) Testimonials

Blood Thinners

Blood thinners, sometimes referred to as “anti-coagulants”, are medicines prescribed to prevent clots from forming in your blood. Generally speaking, blood thinners help your blood to flow easily and not form clots inside your body. Some people only need blood thinners for a short period of time to avoid clotting after an operation. Others may need to take blood thinners for the rest of their lives to treat long-term conditions (such as atrial fibrillation or history of stroke). No matter how long you are taking blood thinners or for what reason, it is important to take them safely and avoid unnecessary health risks.

Follow your doctor’s recommendations along with these tips to be safe and stay healthy while taking blood thinners...

  • Take your medication as directed. Never skip a dose or take a double dose unless instructed by your doctor.
  • Make sure to have your blood tested as directed.
  • Avoid sports and activities that are likely to cause injury.
  • Take special care when trimming your nails or shaving.
  • Talk to your doctor about wearing a medical alert bracelet to immediately inform healthcare professionals about your medication.
  • Be very careful when using knives and scissors.
  • Wear shoes or non-skid slippers in the house.
  • Always wear sturdy shoes outside.
  • Wear thick work gloves when doing house projects or yard work.
  • Use a soft toothbrush and waxed dental floss.

Side effects with blood thinners are not common but do exist. Most side effects relate to how the medicine works—by keeping your blood from clotting.
