Can Acitron Cause Internal Bleeding?
hello doctor, my mother has undergone a heart valve replacement and since then she is taking Acitrom.. Oflate her nose bleeds a lot believed to have caused by the medicine and consumption of ginger.. now it has been fixed by cauterizing.. But, am worried if there can be any internal bleeding.. Can this be found by any tests?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Acitrom is an anticoagulant medication.
It can be used to prevent blood clots but it can cause hemorrhage as a side effect.
I suggest to check the INR level,coagulation and hemorrhage time for further evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
