Coumadin How to Take

Coumadin (Warfarin) belongs to the class of medications called anticoagulants. It is sometimes referred to as a "blood thinner," although it does not actually thin the blood.

Coumadin (Warfarin) helps to prevent Blood Clots from forming or from getting bigger, but it does not dissolve blood clots. Coumadin (Warfarin) is used for the treatment of blood clots in the veins, arteries, lungs, and heart. It is also used to prevent clots for people with conditions that put them at an increased risk of developing blood clots (e.g., some abnormal heart rhythms [atrial fibrillation], leg circulation problems, Heart Attack or Congestive Heart Failure). It is also used to reduce the risk of blood clots due to surgical procedures or trauma.

Blood clots in the circulation are dangerous because they can cause medical problems such as heart attacks, Stroke, and pulmonary Embolism. Coumadin (Warfarin) helps to reduce blood clotting within 24 hours of taking the medication. The full effect may take 72 to 96 hours to occur.

Coumadin (Warfarin) works by partially blocking the reuse of vitamin K in your liver. Vitamin K is needed to make clotting factors that help the blood to clot and prevent bleeding. Vitamin K is found naturally in foods such as leafy, green vegetables, and certain vegetable oils. If you are taking Coumadin (Warfarin), you may continue to eat these foods, but do not make any drastic changes to your diet.

Coumadin (Warfarin) may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Coumadin (Warfarin) may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Coumadin (Warfarin) may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Coumadin (Warfarin) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Coumadin (Warfarin), speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Coumadin (Warfarin) without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Coumadin (Warfarin) to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Coumadin (Warfarin) if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Free Delivery

Your medication is delivered directly to you at no added cost. We even offer same-day delivery in select locations.

Coumadin Dosage

The dose of Coumadin (Warfarin) is individualized by your doctor according to blood clotting time. Blood clotting time is determined by a laboratory test, called an INR, which should be performed at regular intervals. It is very important to keep your lab appointments, as there is a narrow range between too much and too little of the medication. Too much medication may cause you to bleed more. Too little medication may lead to harmful clots forming.

Different circumstances in your life (e.g., eating certain foods or using certain medications) can cause the medication to work more or less effectively. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a list of these foods and medications.

It is important to manage your lifestyle and habits appropriately when taking Coumadin (Warfarin):

  • do not make drastic changes in your diet, such as eating large amounts of green, leafy vegetables
  • do not attempt to change your weight by dieting without first checking with your doctor or pharmacist
  • do not participate in any activity or sport that may result in serious injury
  • avoid drinking alcohol
  • avoid drinking cranberry juice or consuming other products that contain cranberries
  • avoid cutting yourself

It is very important that you take Coumadin (Warfarin) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Take your dose of Coumadin (Warfarin) at the same time each day. If you miss a dose of Coumadin (Warfarin), notify your health care provider right away. Take the missed dose as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Coumadin (Warfarin) at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

Coumadin Precautions

There may be an interaction between Coumadin (Warfarin) and any of the following:

If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:

  • stop taking one of the medications,
  • change one of the medications to another,
  • change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
  • leave everything as is.

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with Coumadin (Warfarin). Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription) and herbal medications that you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the Nicotine from cigarettes, or illegal drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Coumadin Warnings

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medication conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Coumadin (Warfarin).

Bleeding: The most serious risk associated with Coumadin (Warfarin) is bleeding in any tissue or organ. The risk of bleeding is related to how much is taken and for how long.

It is extremely important to have regular blood tests (as recommended by your doctor) to ensure that the correct level of blood thinning is occurring. These blood tests measure your INR level to determine the dose of Coumadin (Warfarin). Your health care provider will adjust the dose of Coumadin (Warfarin) depending on the INR level to ensure you are not receiving too little medication (which may result in blood clots forming) or too much medication (which may result in bleeding).

Congestive heart failure: People with congestive heart failure may be more sensitive to the effects of Coumadin (Warfarin). If you have any heart problems, discuss with your doctor how Coumadin (Warfarin) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Coumadin (Warfarin), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Dental or surgical treatment: It may be necessary to stop taking Coumadin (Warfarin) briefly before scheduled dental or surgical procedures. Make sure that everyone involved in your health care is aware that you are taking Coumadin (Warfarin).

Liver function: Liver disease or reduced liver function may cause Coumadin (Warfarin) to build up in the body, causing side effects, including severe bleeding. If you have liver problems, discuss with your doctor how Coumadin (Warfarin) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Coumadin (Warfarin), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Medical conditions and other medications: If you have other medical conditions and are taking medications, discuss with your doctor how Coumadin (Warfarin) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Coumadin (Warfarin), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Some conditions and medications affect the way Coumadin (Warfarin) works and may affect the dosing of Coumadin (Warfarin). Your doctor will recommend you get regular lab tests done.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs): It is recommended that anyone taking NSAIDs such as acetylsalicylic acid (Asa) or Ibuprofen should be closely monitored to ensure that no change in anticoagulation dosage is required. NSAIDs can cause stomach ulcers or bleeding. If you notice any signs of bleeding, such as frequent nosebleeds, unexplained bruising, or black and tarry stools, notify your doctor as soon as possible.

Purple toes syndrome: Purple toes syndrome is a complication of Coumadin (Warfarin) treatment and consists of a dark, purplish or mottled colour of the toes, usually occurring 3 to 10 weeks (or later) after starting treatment with Coumadin (Warfarin). Major features of this syndrome include:
