Dicoumarol is an oral anticoagulant of the coumarin type, historically used for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders. It acts as a vitamin K antagonist, inhibiting the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. Dicoumarol has largely been replaced by warfarin and is rarely used in modern medical practice.
