Coumadin-inanedione oral anticoagulants

Anticoagulants, which include heparin and the coumadin-inanedione oral anticoagulants... 

The coumarin anticoagulants include dicumarol, warfarin sodium (coumadin sodium), warfarin potassium (Athrom-bin-K), acenocoumarol (Sintrom), and phenprocoumon (Liquamar). The inanedione derivatives are phenindione (Hedulin), diphenadione (Dipaxin), and anisindione (Miradon). The pharmacological properties of oral anticoagulants are identical qualitatively, but their pharmacokinetic parameters and their toxicities vary. Racemic warfarin sodium is the most widely used anticoagulant. Antithrombotic drugs are used clinically either to prevent the formation of blood clots within the circulation (anticoagulant) or to dissolve a clot that has already formed (thrombolytic).
