Warfarin is a medication that helps prevent blood clotting.
Common side effects include bruising, bleeding, and stomach upset.
Considerations:
Warfarin can interact with many medications, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, so it’s important to inform healthcare providers about all medications being taken.
Consistent intake is crucial, as missing or altering doses can affect its effectiveness.
People taking Warfarin should avoid activities that carry a high risk of injury or bleeding, such as contact sports or excessive alcohol consumption.
Pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant should consult with their doctor as Warfarin can pose risks to the developing fetus.
