warfarin poison

The Plavix is widely advertised and available in the USA. I have discussed with my cardiologist in past years. He said, no way is it a substitute fo warfarin... but again I tolerate warfarin well. But too, I've never had any severe cuts while on warfarin.

I take Warfarin (rat Poison) not to use penis ring because it can cause a clot!!

Warfarin doesn't dissolve Blood clots! your body in time absorbs the clots. Warfarin thins the blood to help prevent clots it's used in rat bait after the rats eat the bait they leave the nest to drink and bleed to death and we also consume the rat poison! Did your doctor say why you're on it after three years? I take warfarin because I have to factors for having clots, Prothrombin and Lupus Anticoagulant.

I've heard people in hospital tell the nurse that they refuse to take 'rat poison' and I think it's important to put this into perspective. Warfarin was first developed as a pesticide because it was noted how a small dose of anticoagulant would cause rats and mice to hemorrhage to death. So it was deliberately developed as an anticoagulant and it was found to have other uses, such as saving lives in humans suffering a thrombus.

You really do need to be off of your blood thinner to have a colonoscopy. Don't stress over it too much. Believe me, if you don't stop taking it they will either cancel the procedure or give you fresh frozen plasma to counteract your medication. That is a waste of good blood products. Tell the doctor who prescribed the Warfarin (I hope you don't call it rat poison too :P) and I'm sure they will tell you it is ok, and to resume your normal dosage after the procedure.

Where are you located? I looked at your 'profile' but couldn't tell if you were in the US or UK. If in the US, I believe you can get in touch with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Centre the number is: (888) 426 4435. They may be able to give you more detailed advice? There is a lot of info. on their site, and I think you can access information about toxins and their effects on your pet. Even if you live in UK you may find their site useful.

LAst night sometime after 7:30pm my Beagle Taki ate a box of Decon mouse poison. I took her outside this morning after my mother in law had informed me she found the box torn up and empty. She doesn't seem to be any worse for the wear, but Idk what to do. Unfortunately I can't take her to the vet til after my wife gets off of work around 6pm. What actions can I take at home til I can get her treatment?

Mike H thought it would be a good idea for me to post this link to the Warfarin study. I've been on it since Aortic Valve replacement in 1993..........I did not know I had Hep C until 2002, so all those years, I drank like a Sailor, and even after I found out, I continued to imbibe, I just cut way back. As Mike said, this is a very interesting study. It could be that my Warfarin usage has protected me all these years.

OK, so I'm recovering from my 3rd attack this year, and last Friday I started having R ankle and leg pain. I figured I had CRPS from all the spasms in my legs. But Nooooo - You ready for this? Deep Venous Thrombosis!! Sheesh, so now I'm on rat poison (Warfarin) for the next 6 months on top of everything else! I really don't think this year can get much worse - thank goodness it's almost over!

Coumadin (warfarin) is the active ingredient in rat poison. That being said, Coumadin is dosed, for humans, in a manner which prevents blood clotting (especially for those at risk), and does not act as a poison at the therapeutic dosage level. (However, when rats ingest the high concentrations of warfarin in rat poison, they bleed to death, internally.)" A longer, better and more precise answer is found on Wikipedia.

After someone has a pulmonary embolus they need warfarin for at least 6 months to prevent further pulmonary emboli. Warfarin for this indication is far better than aspirin. The reason to take the warfarin as one dose in the evening is that the blood tests (INR) are frequently done in the AM and then the dose can be altered that same evening if the INR indicates a change is needed.

The dog being in the Animal for four days without showing any symptoms of Coumadin or warfarin intoxication, No Nausea, No Vomiting, No loss of appetite, no drowsiness or weakness? I had a dog in Canada that got into some rat poison and was convulsing in second and foam at the mouth and vommiting we had rushed our dog in Canada to the vet where the vet administered Vitamin K and my dog lived.

Oh you poor thing! I am so sorry for you and the tragic and traumatic ending to your dog's life. I don't think it was rat poison (warfarin) because it does the opposite: causes the blood to lose its ability to clot. You might consider posting this question to Med Help's veterinarian, Dr. Cheng. Look on the right side of this page down around the middle, and click on the Ask a Vet link. Again, I'm so very sorry for you both.

I'm also on the rat poison Warfarin!! The only problem with any supplement Is not all of them will effect your pt/inr But WILL thin the blood!!! You have to be Very careful doing this!!

I was in the hospital for 4 weeks on Hem and then warfarin. I have not smoked or taken birth control for almost a year since the life event with a pulmonary emb in my lungs and liver which happened last June. Two weeks ago I started to smoke again and I have noticed certain changes... more headaces, vomiting, constipation, depression at times, sudden euphoria and etc. What can or will happen to me if I continue to smoke? Please be honest. thank you for your time in answering this question.

Given that yesterday he said to not take the warfarin he was changing me from the genertic warfarin and putting me on the brand name of the med coumadin. Said some folks do not tolerate warfarin well but do well on coumadin and i am to start the coumadin today. I would be lying if i didn't say i am a bit gunshy at this point. This med has made me absolutely miserable and today is my 43rd bday...

t get help and I have seen that no help will be available in the hospitals. I must use rat poison, warfarin, and it (INR) must be measured two times per week. I cannot be free, eg. travel. I am very angry. Even very small things can bother me and cause personal changes - and then, after a moment I am very OK. I am an academic person, pensioned, writing a large book for students. The work goes well if I don't have the anger.

This is exactly what I read in The Coumadin (Warfarin) Help Book. Since my husband has been taking his Warfarin before his evening meal & his INR has been keeping fairly level. And that's good news, we want no more Strokes.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF WARFARIN CAN LOWER YOUR BLOOD COUNT AND AND ALSO LOWER CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D LEVELS?

ve tried to read as much as I can about warfarin along the way. I even went to a day-long CEU workshop for medical professionals on warfarin management and got the certificate. But I'm still not an expert. To my way of thinking, the experts are the hematologists, pharmacists, and other health professionals who manage large numbers of people's warfarin on a daily basis.

Clearly your question is one for your doctor to answer. In my experience with Warfarin, and I get along well with it, aspirin is much easier to deal with if it is sufficient. I don't know the relationship between having a pacemaker and needing Warfarin. Warfarin is a blood anticoagulant (thinner) as I'm sure you know. It is taken to reduce clot formation caused by something line Atrial Fibrillation or mechanical heart valves.
