INTRODUCTION

In Prevention of Blood clots Warf 5 Tablet blocks a substance in the body which is involved in blood clotting. Although it does not ÒdissolveÓ blood clots, it can prevent them from getting bigger so your body can dissolve them over time. It will also prevent new ones from forming. It keeps your blood flowing freely around your body and makes it less likely that a clot will form inside a blood vessel.

It can also make it less likely that parts of a clot will break off and travel to other parts of the body.
