What are anti-coagulants prescribed to treat?

High cholesterol
High blood pressure
Heart attack, stroke, and blood clot formation
Congestive heart failure

The correct answer is: Heart attack, stroke, and blood clot formation

Anti-coagulants are prescribed to treat conditions related to blood clotting such as preventing or treating heart attacks, strokes, and blood clot formations. These medications work by thinning the blood and helping to prevent the formation of dangerous blood clots that can lead to life-threatening conditions like heart attacks and strokes. While high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and congestive heart failure are important conditions that may require different medications, anti-coagulants are specifically indicated for preventing or treating blood clot-related disorders.
