What is the main complication of anticoagulation therapy?

  1. Increased blood pressure

  2. Bleeding

  3. Reduced heart rate

  4. Muscle pain

The correct answer is: Bleeding

Anticoagulation therapy is a treatment that helps prevent the formation of blood clots. This presents a potential risk for bleeding complications, making choice B the correct answer. Option A, increased blood pressure, is not a known complication of anticoagulation therapy. Option C, reduced heart rate, is also not a potential complication as anticoagulants do not specifically affect heart rate. Finally, choice D, muscle pain, is not a common complication of anticoagulant therapy and is not directly related to its main function. Therefore, the best answer is B.
