There are two main types of blood thinners. Anticoagulants, such as heparin or warfarin (also called Coumadin), work on chemical reactions in your body to lengthen the time it takes to form a blood clot. Antiplatelet drugs, such as aspirin, prevent blood cells called platelets from clumping together to form a clot.
Aside from living a healthy lifestyle from the get-go, one of the best ways to prevent these catastrophes is to use drugs that inhibit clotting. Aspirin and clopidogrel (and others now) inhibit platelets from sticking together. We call them antiplatelet drugs. Warfarin, dabigatran (Pradaxa), rivaroxaban (Xarelto) and apixaban (Eliquis) block parts of the coagulation cascade and we call them anticoagulants.
