Warfarin, also known by the brand name Coumadin among others, is an anticoagulant normally used to prevent the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels and their migration elsewhere in the body. It was initially introduced in 1948 as a pesticide against rats and mice, and is still used for this purpose, although more potent poisons such as brodifacoum have since been developed. In the early 1950s, warfarin was found to be effective and relatively safe for preventing thrombosis and thromboembolism in many disorders.

Application
Warfarin is an anticoagulant. It was initially marketed as a pesticide against rats and mice and is still popular for this purpose. A few years after its introduction, warfarin was found to be effective and relatively safe for preventing thrombosis and embolism (abnormal formation and migration of blood clots) in many disorders. It was approved for use as a medication in the early 1950s and has remained popular ever since; warfarin is the most widely prescribed anticoagulant drug in North America.
