Direct Oral Anticoagulants: From Pharmacology to Clinical Practice
Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) are a class of medications used to prevent and treat blood clots. They work by inhibiting specific clotting factors involved in the blood coagulation process. DOACs are commonly prescribed for conditions like atrial fibrillation (AF), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and for the prevention of stroke in certain populations. Compared to traditional anticoagulants like warfarin, DOACs offer several advantages, including more predictable effects, fewer dietary restrictions, and no routine blood monitoring in most cases.
