User Reviews for warfarin oral

I say thank goodness for warfarin. I have an artificial aortic valve, so if I were to get a blood clot it would kill me. I'm 23 and I've been on this drug for just under 4 years now. It is hard at times because yes, I do occasionally have a drink, but it sends my INR into a frenzy. With a quick dose change I'm usually back to normal. I avoid greens altogether, because it's basically, eat them regularly, or don't eat them at all... Other than that, I had to switch to Lovenox for the first trimester of my pregnancy, but that's okay. Besides the med changes and close monitoring, even pregnancy and childbirth were okay. I don't see what everyone is complaining about. It's keeping me alive. So for me, it's fine. Read More Read Less

I have had 2 blood clots in my leg. They found out I have factor v. I have lots of joint pain, dizziness, fatigue and food taste funny. I don't have 1/2 of the energy I once had. As I am 5o now and I just can't keep up a good workout without being so physically exhausted.I eat well take vitamins but still ache a lot. I am glad others feel like me to. It is good to share information.

This drug increases all symptoms related to poor heart functioning. Thus, speeding up the death sentence. It caused excessive fluid, carbon dioxide, abdominal pain, and gangrene in the intestines. Along with the usual tiredness, light headedness, and nauseous.

I am able to keep the swelling down in my leg and have been able to walk and climb stairs and continue to do my jod as a custodian in a shopping plaza

My mental health since medication is anxious, irritable. To me this drug is Hell. Inr even after seven month has to be checked twice week. Can not go on vacation with out it interfering,

difficult to adjust dosage,difficult to adjust diet,side effects numerous

I have taken Coumadin since age 19. I am now 63 years old. So I have taken it most of my life. I have trouble dealing with dietary needs and foods rich in vitamin K. I love my veggies, but it is hard to maintain my INR when I eat what I feel is good for me.

When having an operation and told to stop warfarin i'm not told on how much greens to eat or not eat--so I'm lost on what to do.

I have an underlying blood condition called THROMBOCYTHEMIA, and recently had a brain tumor removed. While in the hospital, I was given daily heparin shots. Unbeknownst to the medical staff and myself, heparin was taking my platelets and actually turning them into bloodclots. I was back in hospital a week later, diagnosed bloodclots. Was given more heparin, which sent into respiratory arrest. I have been on 5mg warfarin since January 2014. My levels are in the 2.5 - 3.5. And recently found Will be on warfarin the rest of my life. That is little depressing, but considering the alternative, I guess is bestRead More Read Less

can't seem to regulate the dose always different

It's a pain to be checked weekly, BUT, no side effects. Giving up some greens is no big deal.

I was on Warfarin for approximately 6-8 months, it dissolved the blood clots very well. I have been off Warfarin for almost 6 months now, and I'm still bruising very easily.

I have been using this drug for many years. No major side effects. But I feel for those having trouble w/bleeding, unsafe levels, or other problems. First, it is very important that you do not eat vegetables w/ vitamin k ( don't forget vitamin pills contain vitamin K ). Secondly, I take vitamin B12 and vitamin B1 for healthy blood. Thirdly, many foods, and ingredients that are added to foods, thin the blood. Google it. Lastly, eat only lean meats and avoid fried foods.

gave me indigestion really bad after taking

Very effective. Only problem is getting tested,usually every week.
