Anyway, the only effective anticoagulants currently are aspirin and coumadin. I certainly would recommend aspirin. Some patients take a very small dose of coumadin. You must know that the side effects of coumadin are dose related. A small dose rarely causes side effects or excessive bleeding.
Some patients take aspirin and one mg of coumadin.
It would be hard to advocate systemic anticoagulation. However, I doubt you are interested in a stroke. Back to Drug InfoNet Home Page. Back to Doctor FAQ main page. Send your impressions, comments, thoughts, etc.
