The main therapeutic use of anticoagulants is to?

  1. Treat existing blood clots

  2. Prevent the formation of new clots

  3. Reduce high blood pressure

  4. Reduce cholesterol levels

The correct answer is: Prevent the formation of new clots

Anticoagulants are primarily used to prevent the formation of new blood clots, not to treat existing ones. They do not have an effect on reducing high blood pressure or cholesterol levels. Additionally, treating existing blood clots with anticoagulants can be dangerous and is not their main therapeutic use.
