Anticoagulants and antiplatelets are used for the prevention and treatment of blood clots that occur in blood vessels. Oftentimes, anticoagulants and antiplatelets are referred to as “blood thinners,” but they don’t actually thin the blood at all. These drugs slow down the body’s process of making clots.
This is a trick question! Anticoagulants do NOT dissolve blood clots. They only help prevent new clots from occurring, or existing clots from enlarging, but they do not aid in dissolving the old clot. The body will dissolve the clot naturally if it can be dissolved.
There are always risk to any medication and treatment, but the physician will weigh out the risk vs. benefit before starting the patient on either of these medications. The risk vs. benefit of prescribing an anticoagulant/antiplatelet is a very serious thought process.
