What is Jantoven?
Jantoven is an anticoagulant (blood thinner). This medicine reduces the formation of blood clots.
Jantoven is used to treat or prevent blood clots in veins or arteries, which can reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other serious conditions.
Jantoven may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important Information
You should not take Jantoven if you are prone to bleeding because of a medical condition, if you have an upcoming surgery, or if you need a spinal tap or epidural. Do not take this medicine if you cannot take it on time every day.
Jantoven increases your risk of severe or fatal bleeding, especially if you have certain medical conditions, if you are 65 or older, or if you have had a stroke, or bleeding in your stomach or intestines. Seek emergency help if you have any bleeding that will not stop.
Call your doctor at once if you have other signs of bleeding such as: swelling, pain, feeling very weak or dizzy, unusual bruising, bleeding gums, nosebleeds, heavy menstrual periods or abnormal vaginal bleeding, blood in your urine, bloody or tarry stools, coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
Many other drugs can increase your risk of bleeding when used with Jantoven. Tell your doctor about all medicines you have recently used.
Avoid making any changes in your diet without first talking to your doctor. Some foods can make Jantoven less effective.
Before taking this medicine
You should not take Jantoven if you are allergic to it, or if:
-
you have very high blood pressure;
-
you recently had or will have surgery on your brain, spine, or eye;
-
you undergo a spinal tap or spinal anesthesia (epidural); or
-
you cannot take Jantoven on time every day.
You also should not take Jantoven if you are are prone to bleeding because of a medical condition, such as:
-
a blood cell disorder (such as low red blood cells or low platelets);
-
ulcers or bleeding in your stomach, intestines, lungs, or urinary tract;
-
an aneurysm or bleeding in the brain; or
-
an infection of the lining of your heart.
Do not take Jantoven if you are pregnant, unless your doctor tells you to. This medicine can cause birth defects, but preventing blood clots may outweigh any risks to the baby. If you are not pregnant, use effective birth control to prevent pregnancy while taking this medicine and for at least 1 month after your last dose. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant.
Jantoven can make you bleed more easily, especially if you have ever had:
-
high blood pressure or serious heart disease;
-
kidney disease;
-
cancer or low blood cell counts;
-
an accident or surgery;
-
bleeding in your stomach or intestines;
-
a stroke; or
-
if you are 65 or older.
To make sure Jantoven is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:
-
diabetes;
-
congestive heart failure;
-
liver disease, kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis);
-
a hereditary clotting deficiency; or
-
low blood platelets after receiving heparin.
It is not known whether warfarin passes into breast milk. Watch for signs of bruising or bleeding in the baby if you take warfarin while you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take Jantoven?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Do not take Jantoven in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than your doctor tells you to.
Take Jantoven at the same time every day, with or without food. Never take a double dose.
Jantoven can make it easier for you to bleed. Seek emergency help if you have any bleeding that will not stop.
You will need frequent “INR” or prothrombin time tests (to measure your blood-clotting time and determine your Jantoven dose). You must remain under the care of a doctor while taking this medicine.
If you receive Jantoven in a hospital, call or visit your doctor 3 to 7 days after you leave the hospital. Your INR will need to be tested at that time. Do not miss any follow-up appointments.
Tell your doctor if you are sick with diarrhea, fever, chills, or flu symptoms, or if your body weight changes.
You may need to stop taking Jantoven 5 to 7 days before having any surgery, dental work, or a medical procedure. Call your doctor for instructions.
Wear a medical alert tag or carry an ID card stating that you take Jantoven. Any medical care provider who treats you should know that you are taking Jantoven.
Store at room temperature away from heat, moisture, and light.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call 115. An overdose can cause excessive bleeding.
What should I avoid while taking Jantoven?
Avoid activities that may increase your risk of bleeding or injury. Use extra care to prevent bleeding while shaving or brushing your teeth. You may still bleed more easily for several days after you stop taking Jantoven.
Avoid making any changes in your diet without first talking to your doctor. Foods that are high in vitamin K (liver, leafy green vegetables, or vegetable oils) can make Jantoven less effective. If these foods are part of your diet, eat a consistent amount on a weekly basis.
Grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, noni juice, and pomegranate juice may interact with Jantoven and lead to unwanted side effects. Avoid the use of these juice products while taking this medicine.
Avoid drinking alcohol.
Ask your doctor before using any medicine for pain, arthritis, fever, or swelling. This includes aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib (Celebrex), diclofenac, indomethacin, meloxicam, and others. These medicines may affect blood clotting and may also increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
Jantoven side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

bleeding gums, nosebleeds;
-
bleeding from wounds or needle injections that will not stop;

What other drugs will affect Jantoven?
Many drugs (including some over-the-counter medicines and herbal products) can affect your INR and may increase the risk of bleeding if you take them with Jantoven. Not all possible drug interactions are listed in this medication guide. It is very important to ask your doctor and pharmacist before you start or stop using any other medicine, especially:
-
other medicines to prevent blood clots;
-
an antibiotic or antifungal medicine;
-
supplements that contain vitamin K; or
-
herbal (botanical) products–coenzyme Q10, cranberry, echinacea, garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, goldenseal, or St. John’s wort.
