Acenocoumarol is a [[coumarin]] derivative used as an [[anticoagulant]]. Coumarin derivatives inhibit the reduction of [[vitamin K]] by vitamin K reductase. This prevents carboxylation of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, II, VII, IX and X, and interferes with [[coagulation]]. [[Hematocrit]], [[hemoglobin]], [[international normalized ratio]] and liver panel should be monitored. Patients on acenocoumarol are prohibited from giving blood.
