Coumadin (Coumadin) is a blood anticoagulant that inhibits the function of Vitamin K dependent coagulation. Coumadin has a wide range of tablets: 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.5 and 10 mg tablets are available. An injectable form of the drug (5 mg) is also available. The dose of Coumadin is determined in each individual by administering a trial dose and ten measuring the patient's INR (International Normalized Ratio), a lab test that is standardized by the WHO (world Health Organization) and recognized worldwide. Therapeutic ranges for this test are between 2.0 to 3.0 when a patient is taking Coumadin. INR levels below 2 may allow easier blood clotting to occur while levels above 3 may cause excessive tendency for the patient to bleed. Several different Coumadin doses and INR tests (over 1-4 weeks) are usually necessary to establish a relatively stable and therapeutic INR level in each individual. Unfortunately, there are at least 60 different drugs that may increase or decrease the body's ability to utilize Coumadin any the majority of people that need Coumadin are often require one or more of these drugs; this situation also is why each Coumadin dose is individualized. The major risk factor with Coumadin is hemorrhage. Small emboli may occasionally be released while on Coumadin, causing "purple toes;" although this may be reversible, a few patients may develop gangrene. Pregnant women should not be given Coumadin; lactating women may need to be closely monitored and their breastfed infants should have their INR checked, according to some investigators. Although Coumadin has been used in pediatric patients to prevent clot formations, children under 18 have not been well studied with this drug and some investigators suggest achieving stable INR levels seems more difficult in the pediatric population. Our <a href=http://claricefoxworthyohz.soup.io/post/642308100/Coumadin>Coumadin kaufen rezeptfrei</a> Side Effects Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information on the potential side effects when taking this medication. SIDE EFFECTS: Nausea, loss of appetite, or stomach/abdominal pain may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. This medication can cause serious bleeding if it affects your blood clotting proteins too much (shown by unusually high INR lab results). Even if your doctor stops your medication, this risk of bleeding can continue for up to a week. Tell your doctor right away if you have any signs of serious bleeding, including: unusual pain/swelling/discomfort, unusual/easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts or gums, persistent/frequent nosebleeds, unusually heavy/prolonged menstrual flow, pink/dark urine, coughing up blood, vomit that is bloody or looks like coffee grounds, severe headache, dizziness/fainting, unusual or persistent tiredness/weakness, bloody/black/tarry stools, chest pain, shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing. Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: persistent nausea/vomiting, severe stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin. This drug rarely has caused very serious (possibly fatal) problems if its effects lead to small blood clots (usually at the beginning of treatment). This can lead to severe skin/tissue damage that may require surgery or amputation if left untreated. Patients with certain blood conditions (protein C or S deficiency) may be at greater risk. Get medical help right away if any of these rare but serious side effects occur: painful/red/purplish patches on the skin (such as on the toe, breast, abdomen), change in the amount of urine, vision changes, confusion, slurred speech, weakness on one side of the body. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing. This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. What is the most important information I should know about Coumadin (Coumadin, Jantoven)? Follow your doctor's instructions about taking Coumadin while you are pregnant. Coumadin can harm an unborn baby or cause birth defects. However, the benefits of preventing blood clots in certain women may outweigh any risks to the baby. Never take a double dose of this medication. You should not take Coumadin if you have a bleeding or blood cell disorder, blood in your urine or stools, an infection of the lining of your heart, stomach bleeding, bleeding in the brain, recent or upcoming surgery, or if you need a spinal tap or spinal anesthesia (epidural). Coumadin may cause you to bleed more easily, especially if you have: a history of bleeding problems, high blood pressure or severe heart disease, kidney or liver disease, cancer, surgery or a medical emergency, a disease affecting the blood vessels in your brain, a history of stomach or intestinal bleeding, if you are 65 or older, or if you are severely ill or debilitated. Many drugs (including some over-the-counter medicines and herbal products) can cause serious medical problems or death if you take them with Coumadin. It is very important to tell your doctor about all medicines you have recently used. Ask your doctor before taking any medicine for pain, arthritis, fever, or swelling. |
