| | Warfarin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Therapeutic drug monitoring is required, as warfarin has a very narrow therapeutic index, which means the levels in the blood that are effective are close to the levels that cause bleeding. | | | When initiating warfarin therapy ("warfarinisation"), the doctor will generally decide how strong the anticoagulant therapy needs to be. | | | During the third trimester, antepartum hemorrhage can occur. |

| | The warfarin dose may be adjusted periodically in response to a changing INR or to clinical circumstances that call for an increase or decrease in warfarin therapy. | | | Warfarin is also used in patients who have a history of developing harmful clots, including patients who have had a stroke, heart attack, a clot which has traveled to the lung (pulmonary embolism), or a blood clot in the leg (deep venous thrombosis or DVT). | | | — The goal of warfarin therapy is to decrease the clotting tendency of blood, but not to prevent clotting completely. |

| | This "prothrombin clotting time" or "protime" measurement is necessary for anyone on warfarin prophylaxis therapy. | | | However, do not think that if you are on Coumadin/warfarin therapy that you can substitute rat poison; besides the impurities found in the warfarin used for that purpose, many other potentially fatal ingredients are used to enhance the effectiveness of the rodenticide, and none of these would be healthy to consume. | | | A 1kg rat or a 200mg mouse get a fatal dosage that might not be fatal to, and perhaps not even dangerous to, a 15kg dog or 30kg small child. |
