What Is The Difference Between Acitrom And Warf?

Why some doctors prescribe Acitrom and some advice for Warf after AVR ? When in both cases, the valves are metallic valves. Why this difference between two different hospital s doctors? Main thing is that, the price of Warf is tooo less than Acitrom. When both are containing the same properties of anticoagulation and adviced for the patients for the same surgery of AVR similarly. Asking you because, I have had AVR in 2013 and my surgeon prescribed me Acitrom. Same metallic valve was used to one of my friend s AVR before ten years in different hospital and was prescribed for Warf. I also heard that Acitrom is more dangerous than Warf. I asked my DM that why don t he let me switch over to Warf, but I don t get any satisfactiory anssure. Please help me to come out from confusion. Thanks

your doctor prescribed you right..with warfarin strick monitoring is required like weekly PT/INR but with acitorm it's safe.if you want to go for routine homemade remedies then drink plenty of water,use one piece of garlic regularly,use kewi,use green vegetables,avoid canned fruits or veggies and minimize the use of animal fat..these are all remedies if u want to switch the both.
