Anticoagulant Comparison Chart
Your healthcare provider may prescribe an anticoagulant (sometimes called a blood thinner) after you have a blood clot. There are several anticoagulants on the market and navigating your options can be overwhelming.
NATF has designed a reference chart that compares all available anticoagulants, including warfarin and the direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
This is a great tool to review with your doctor or healthcare provider when discussing your medication options.
