Anisindione is a synthetic anticoagulant and an indanedione derivative. It is prescribed only if you cannot take coumarin-type anticoagulants such as coumadin as anisindione is a powerful drug with serious potential side effects. Anticoagulants decrease the clotting ability of the blood and therefore help to prevent harmful clots from forming in the blood vessels. These medicines are sometimes called blood thinners, although they do not actually thin the blood. They also will not dissolve clots that already have formed, but they may prevent the clots from becoming larger and causing more serious problems.

Accumulation does not occur with repeated dosing.

An overdose is likely to cause abnormal bleeding, for which the symptoms include: bleeding from gums or nose, blood in urine or stools, excessive bleeding from minor cuts, patches of discoloration or bruises on the skin.
