title: Drugs used for disorders of coagulation.
abstract: Bleeding and thrombosis are altered states of hemostasis. Inhibition of normal hemostatic mechanisms results in spontaneous hemorrhage, whereas excessive hemostasis results in thrombus formation. The drugs used to prevent and treat thrombosis and those used to arrest bleeding are the subjects of this article.
