A blood clot is a semi-solid form of blood cells that helps to prevent excessive blood loss in our body. But when it forms in the blood vessels, it blocks the blood flow and can cause severe risk like a stroke or heart attack. This condition needs to be immediately addressed before it leads to life-threatening risk. Anticoagulants and antiplatelets are blood thinners that help to decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke caused by blood clotting.
