Warfarin (Coumadin) – Side Effects, Uses, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Interactions, Warnings • Warfarin, also known as Coumadin and Jantoven, is an anticoagulant used to prevent and treat blood clots. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, atrial fibrillation, mechanical heart valves, and post-surgical clot prevention. Warfarin works by inhibiting the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, reducing blood coagulation. Common side effects include bleeding, gastrointestinal issues, allergic reactions, hair loss, and rarely, purple toe syndrome. Severe bleeding, unusual pain or swelling, and severe headache require immediate medical attention. The dosage of warfarin is tailored based on the patient's INR, typically starting at 5-10 mg per day and adjusting to 2-10 mg per day. Regular blood tests are essential to monitor INR levels. Warfarin interacts with many medications, supplements, and foods, particularly those high in vitamin K, and alcohol, affecting its efficacy and safety. Patients must maintain consistent vitamin K intake, and inform healthcare providers of all medications and upcoming surgeries. Warfarin is contraindicated in pregnancy and requires careful management to avoid serious bleeding risks. • #Warfarin #Coumadin #Warfarinsideeffects #Coumadinsideeffects #Warfarinuses #Coumadinuses • Join this channel to get access to perks: • / @learnmedicineasap • --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Subscribe for more medical and health content: / @learnmedicineasap • Check out our other helpful playlists • Obstetrics and Gynecology • • Obstetrics and Gynecology • General Surgery Lessons • • General Surgery Lessons • Internal Medicine • • Internal Medicine • Child Health and Pediatrics • • Child Health and Pediatrics • Pharmacology Lecture Videos • • Pharmacology Lecture Videos • Anaesthesiology | Anesthesiology • • Anaesthesiology | Anesthesiology • Medical Parasitology • • Medical Parasitology • Infectious Diseases • • Infectious Diseases • Pathology • • Pathology • Microbiology • • Microbiology • Anatomy • • Anatomy • Ear Nose and Throat - ENT • • Ear Nose and Throat - ENT • Oral Health | Oral Hygiene | Dental Health • • Oral Health | Oral Hygiene | Dental H... • Ophthalmology | Eye Infections | Eye Diseases • • Ophthalmology | Eye Infections | Eye ... • Oncology • • Oncology • Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) | Sexual Wellness Health - Sexual Infection | STI • • Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) | ... • Women's Health • • Women's Health • Men's Health • • Men's Health • Vitamins, Minerals and their Deficiencies | Vitamin Deficiencies | Mineral Deficiencies • • Vitamins, Minerals and their Deficien... • Clinical Skills | Clinical Techniques • • Clinical Skills | Clinical Techniques • Pharmacology Mnemonics • • Pharmacology Mnemonics • Internal Medicine Mnemonics • • Internal Medicine Mnemonics
