User Reviews for warfarin oral

i have been taking warfarin for one year now and it has been very effective for me

This drug is better for my health. I dislike the idea that I must monitor my vegetable and fruit intake because of the vitamin K. To monitor or not to monitor which is best? Montoring, to live a healthier fuller life. Thank you and God bless.

My mother was given this drug and she bleed in her brain and intestines within hours of her first dose and died. She was 60 years old, and the doctors gave her warafin and asparin within 24 hours of each other. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER BLOOD THINNERS IN YOUR SYSTEM! It has a 4-8% chance of sever bleeding in first time users. That means 4-8 people out of 100 WILL BLEED SEVERLY the very first time they take warafin. USE CAUTION BEFORE TAKING. SEEK ALTERNATIVES!

I hate taking a medication that doesn't work for me. I am currently taking 20-25mg a day and still only have an INR of 1.30. I am 21 years old and ended up in the hospital with multiple blood clots in my lungs and lower extremities. What is the point of taking this if it isn't going to help me in the long run???

they are always adjusting my medication. I was disappointed they didn't approve Exanta

I hate the thought that people used to use it for killing rats.

I don't like it because it has so many interactions. It adds to my stress level.

This drug was helpful to me in the past, unfortunately I was never prescribed maintanence meds that could have possibly helped me avoid another clot... this is my 2nd go round on the Warfarin. I experienced very few fluctuations in my inr the 1st time I took the meds, had no major side effects. This time, the doctor I was given at the hospital prescribed way too much and I experienced many adverse reactions (dizziness, memory loss, heavy bleeding) and after 2 months of dealing with him I've moved onto another specialist who is working to get me at a safe and problem free level. Please let your dr know if you are experiencing any side effects on this drug. Read More Read Less

Aortic st jude heart valve surgery, with aneurysm repair in aortic root

Just the fact that I'm taking this doesn't make me feel good.

Ankle swelling

My diagnosis was DVT with Pulmonary Thrombosis: lucky to be alive! Record & take the drug at the same time each morning is the way to go. My PT/INR has been consistant/within range. Food interactions/alcohol use is a concern, as well as injury. I am quite active: I hike, bicycle (road & mountain), and snow ski (with a helmet), a lot! Carry/wear something that tells people you're on this medication. Let your friends know. Don't be afraid: things could be much worse! I went off this before a medical procedure, then back on afterwards without a problem.Read More Read Less

works ok! need something new so i wont bleed to death if something happens.

blood clot after IV insertion

I MUST TAKE THIS DRUG BECAUSE OF A PROSTHETIC HEART VALVE. IT IS A SCARY DRUG IN THAT YOU MUST TAKE IT BUT EVERYTHING AFFECTS ITS EFFECTIVENESS. THE RISK OF UNCONTROLLED BLEEDING IS EVER PRESENT AND WORRISOME. I DO WEAR A MED ID BRACELET BUT THERE ALWAYS IS THE WORRY THAT IN AN ACCIDENT IT WILL NOT BE NOTICED.

Having suffered two clots (arm, leg) and one TIA I am a Warfarin "lifer" While it has serious side effects (the bleeding) it has proven effective against further clotting issues.

Seem to be tired and sleepy.

The level keeps going up and down there is no happy medium. I have not eaten or taken that should interfere
