    INTRODUCTION

    1. GTF spreads awareness ofthrombosis in the community

    2. There are so many drugs thatare available for the managementof thrombi

    3. Objective of this research was tosee if we have reached our idealanticoagulant agent

    TYPES OF ANTICOAGULANTS1. Oral tablets (Warfarin, Pradaxa)2. Injectables (Heparin, LowMolecular Weight Heparin)

    HAVE WE REACHED THE TOPOF THE HIMALAYAS, YET?1. Our search for an idealanticoagulant agent is not yet over2. Our message: Keep on trying,until we succeed
