What is the main risk associated with anticoagulants?

  1. Insomnia

  2. Nausea

  3. Bleeding

  4. Headaches

The correct answer is: Bleeding

Anticoagulants are medications that prevent blood from clotting, which can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or other life-threatening conditions. The main risk associated with anticoagulants is bleeding, as these medications can increase the time it takes your blood to form a clot. This risk is especially important to consider if you are prone to falls or have a history of bleeding disorders. Insomnia, nausea, and headaches are not commonly associated with anticoagulants and may be side effects of other medications or conditions.
