Jantoven is an anticoagulant (blood thinner). This medicine reduces blood clot formation.
Jantoven is used for the treatment and prevention of blood clots in veins or arteries that might reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other severe conditions.
Jantoven Uses
This medicine is used to treat blood clots such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) and/or to prevent the formation of new clots in the body.
Prevents harmful blood clots and also helps reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack.
Conditions that increase your risk of developing blood clots include a specific type of irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation), cardiac valve replacement, recent heart attack, and certain surgeries (such as hip/knee replacement).
It helps keep blood flowing smoothly in your body by reducing the number of certain substances (protein clotting) in your blood.
