Drugs that Affect the Blood

Antianemic drugs, such as certain vitamins or iron , enhance the formation of red blood cells . Anticoagulants like heparin reduce blood-clot formation and ensure free blood flow through major organs in the body. Thrombolytic drugs dissolve blood clots, which can block blood vessels and deprive the heart or brain of blood and oxygen, possibly leading to heart attack or stroke.
