Which type of medication is known as "blood thinners"?

Anti-anginals

Cardiac glycosides

Anti-coagulants

Anti-coagulants are a type of medication that prevents blood from clotting. They are commonly referred to as "blood thinners" because they help decrease the formation of blood clots in the body. Option A, Anti-anginals, is used to treat chest pain but does not thin the blood. Option B, Cardiac glycosides, are used to treat heart failure but do not affect blood clotting. Option D, Anti-hyperlipidemics, are used to lower cholesterol levels and do not directly impact blood clotting. Therefore, option C is the most accurate choice for medication known as "blood thinners".
