Coumadin
Coumadin, also known as warfarin, is a medication used to prevent blood clots from forming or growing larger in your blood and blood vessels. It is prescribed for people with certain types of irregular heartbeat, those with prosthetic heart valves, and those who have suffered a heart attack. Coumadin works by antagonizing vitamin K, which is necessary for the clotting process.
How is this medication used?
Take Coumadin exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, usually once a day. The dose may vary according to your blood test results (INR test). It's important to keep a consistent vitamin K intake while on Coumadin to maintain your INR levels stable.
What are the possible side effects?
Possible side effects include easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts, increased bleeding from gums or nose, blood in urine or stools, and severe headache or stomach pain. Immediate medical attention is required if you experience any signs of serious bleeding or unusual bruising.
What are the potential interactions?
Coumadin can interact with many other drugs, including antibiotics, antifungals, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and medications for heart or blood pressure. Dietary changes affecting vitamin K intake (e.g., green leafy vegetables) and alcohol can also affect Coumadin's efficacy and safety. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medications or making significant dietary changes.
