Blood thinning medication recommendations vary widely depending on why a blood thinner is needed, and other patient conditions and considerations. For children we currently use lovenox, coumadin and aspirin most commonly.
Warfarin, Counadiin, is safe if it is monitored closely and can be reversed.
Eliquis although if you have mechanical heart valve you must use warfarin
