What is your muddiest point relating to anticoagulation and anemia?? by Celina Siwula https://padlet.com/csiwula/tyrfn0tdo5q4 en-us 2017-09-29 17:39:26 UTC 2025-11-21 08:33:25 UTC hello@padlet.com For drug interactions for warfarin, we have drugs that increase and drugs that decrease anticoagulant effects. My question is, can both be there since they are opposites. https://padlet.com/csiwula/tyrfn0tdo5q4/wish/194933996 From Professor Siwula:
Yes, both interactions can occur depending on the drug that is interacting with warfarin! For example, Vitamin K intake may decrease the effects of warfarin (therefore consistency in intake of vitamin K is important in order to adjust the warfarin dose appropriately), and amiodarine may increase the INR significantly requiring a decrease in warfarin dosage.

If the HCP suspects a blood clot, a test/tests would be ordered to rule out a clot (ultrasound, etc.). The treatment determination would then be made.]]> 2017-10-13 01:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/csiwula/tyrfn0tdo5q4/wish/196668973
