In short
In the United States, warfarin sodium tablets are indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of venous thrombosis and its extension, as well as pulmonary embolism. They are also indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic complications associated with atrial fibrillation and cardiac valve replacement, or both. Additionally, they are indicated to reduce the risk of death, recurrent myocardial infarction, and thromboembolic events such as stroke or systemic embolization after myocardial infarction. These tablets have no direct effect on an established thrombus and do not reverse ischemic tissue damage.

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Warfarin sodium tablets are indicated for: Prophylaxis and treatment of venous thrombosis and its extension, pulmonary embolism (PE). Prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic complications associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or cardiac valve replacement. Reduction in the risk of death, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), and thromboembolic events such as stroke or systemic embolization after myocardial infarction. Limitations of Use Warfarin sodium tablets have no direct effect on an established thrombus, nor does it reverse ischemic tissue damage. Once a thrombus has occurred, however, the goals of anticoagulant treatment are to prevent further extension of the formed clot and to prevent secondary thromboembolic complications that may result in serious and possibly fatal sequelae.
