This section presents medications that are known to potentially lead to 'Coagulation time prolonged' as a side effect. It's important to note that mild side effects are quite common with medications.

Researchers have developed synthetic platelets from biodegradable polymers. In animal models, the synthetics attach to natural platelets and stem bleeding faster than current treatments. Blood loss is ...

Because of a patient's ongoing physiological changes, what was initially an ideal dosage of a medication such as warfarin may become not-so-ideal as time passes. The drug could end up keeping the ...

Scientists have discovered three genes that could shed light on the genetic causes of blood-clotting disorders such as thrombosis and some types of stroke. Scientists have discovered three genes that ...

Specific reversal agents for non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants are lacking. Idarucizumab, an antibody fragment, was developed to reverse the anticoagulant effects of dabigatran. We ...

One of the more surprising symptoms of COVID-19 has been the blood clots that many patients, including younger ones, have experienced with the infection. The clots have in some cases led to dangerous ...

All that most laymen know about hemophilia is that it is an odd and dangerous disease of the blood that strikes men only, although it is transmitted by women. Medical researchers have learned a great ...
