A substance that prevents coagulation; that is, it stops blood from clotting.
Any of a group of drugs that suppress, delay, or prevent clots (masses of blood cells) from forming in the bloodstream. Also known as blood thinners, anticoagulants are used to treat heart, lung, or blood vessel disorders. The drug may be administered for a heart attack, pulmonary embolism (blockage of the artery that feeds the lung), or irregular heartbeat, which may cause harmful clots to form. |
