blood thinners
Anti-clotting medication class
Blood thinners are medications that reduce the blood's ability to clot, used to prevent strokes, heart attacks, and dangerous clots in veins.
The term is somewhat misleading—these drugs don't actually thin the blood but interfere with clotting mechanisms.
The doctor put him on blood thinners after his heart surgery.
Also called anticoagulants.
