Scientific Evidence

Fenilin (phenindione) is an oral anticoagulant that works by inhibiting the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors in the liver. This action prolongs the clotting time and prevents the formation of blood clots. Studies have shown that phenindione is effective in preventing thromboembolic events in patients at risk.

Additional Information

It is important to monitor the patient’s INR (International Normalized Ratio) regularly while on phenindione therapy to ensure the dosage is appropriate and the blood is clotting within the desired range. Phenindione may interact with other medications, so inform your healthcare provider about all the drugs you are taking.

Research has indicated that phenindione, although effective, may have a slower onset of action compared to newer anticoagulants such as warfarin. However, it is still a valuable option for patients who cannot tolerate or have contraindications to other anticoagulants.
