Introduction to Flopace 250mg Injection

Flopace 250mg Injection is commonly used in patients with irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation) to prevent clot formation.

You may need to take this medicine for many years, even for life in some cases. Do not stop taking it or change the dose without guidance from your doctor. It could quickly put you at more risk of having a heart attack, stroke or thrombosis (formation of a blood clot within a blood vessel). You can reduce your risk of having a blood clot by making changes to your lifestyle, such as not smoking, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and losing weight if you need to.

You should be extra careful while shaving, cutting nails, or using sharp objects during the treatment with this medicine.

This medicine may not be suitable for everyone and should be used with caution. Inform your doctor, if you have severe kidney or liver problems. Do not take this medicine if you are currently bleeding or if you are taking other medicines to reduce blood clotting. You should not breastfeed while using this medicine.
