Warfarin, the generic name for Coumadin, is a blood thinner used to treat blood clots and to prevent future clots from forming in the body.
Warfarin dosing is individualized based on diagnosis, severity of condition, and INR which measures how likely you are to bleed and your body’s ability to clot after you start bleeding.
While taking Warfarin, you should look for signs of serious bleeding such as bleeding of the gums, nose bleed, bruising of the body, blood in stool or urine, and persistent bleeding from minor cuts and scrapes.
