Coumadin

COUMADIN® (Warfarin Sodium Tablets, USP) Crystalline Has Been Helping to Protect Appropriate Patients For Over 50 Years.

COUMADIN® is an anticoagulant. Anti means against, and coagulant refers to blood clotting. An anticoagulant helps reduce clots from forming in the blood.

So when your doctor prescribes COUMADIN®, make sure you get the dose your doctor prescribed.

To make sure you're getting the correct dose of COUMADIN®, ask your pharmacist. Pay close attention to the strength and name COUMADIN® on the tablet.

COUMADIN® Uses

COUMADIN® (Warfarin Sodium Tablets, USP) Crystalline is used to help
prevent and treat blood clots:

  • In the legs and lungs
  • Associated with an irregular, rapid heartbeat called "atrial fibrillation"

If you have had a heart attack, COUMADIN® may be used to:

  • Lower the risk of death
  • Lower the risk of another heart attack
  • Lower the risk of stroke
  • Lower the risk of blood clots moving to other parts of the body

Important Safety Information

The most common side effect of COUMADIN® is bleeding in any tissue or organ. Numerous factors including travel, changes in diet, environment, general health, and medication may affect your response to COUMADIN®.

COUMADIN® should not be used when the hazard of bleeding might be greater than the potential clinical benefits of anticoagulation, such as:

  • patients who are or may become pregnant
  • blood diseases
  • unsupervised patients with senility, alcoholism, psychosis, or other lack of cooperation
  • procedures with potential for uncontrollable bleeding

COUMADIN® should be used with caution in patients who may be at risk of bleeding from trauma, surgery, or coadministration with NSAIDs including aspirin. Caution should be taken when administering to the elderly or debilitated.

Patients should be informed that all warfarin sodium, USP, products represent the same medication and should not be taken together as overdosage may result.

If you have any other questions about COUMADIN® and your condition, contact your healthcare provider.
