In vitro study | Coumetarol (Dicumoxane), an oral anticoagulant, is active in both models. The vitamin K antagonist Coumetarol is effective in both models after oral treatment but inhibits the thrombus formation more strongly in the arterio-venous shunt model. Treatment with the vitamin K antagonist Coumetarol in a dose of 25 mg/kg p.o. twice daily for 2 days results in a significant reduction in thrombus weight by 50% in the venous stasis model and by 75% in the arterio-venous shunt model. In both experiments the coagulation time as measured by the Thrombotest is prolonged to the same extent. |
