As far as I'm aware, Coumadin is just one of the brand names of warfarin. It's like if I want some Clopidogrel (another form of anti platelet med) I could ask for either Clopidogrel or Plavix, Plavix is the brand name the drug company trades the medication under.
s brand name...i wish i felt more hopeful that in this case it may be the generic brand warfarin and the name brand coumadin will indeed be different...but i don't at this point and all i know is i am miserable still from the warfarin. I do not know this doc well enough to feel comfortable with him yet...which adds to my uneasiness regarding the matter.

The treatment for clots in the ventricle is warfarin. The clots usually become firm and do not embolize with time. If it is still soft clot, the warfarin will help to slowly reduce the size of it. There isn't much else that needs to be done now.
I understand your concern about stroke. The longer you go on warfarin, the less likely you are to have a stroke from that source.
s usually meant to be kept between 2 and 4, or between 2 and 3. So 7 is high but I believe that people on warfarin (brand name Coumadin) can find themselves at 9 or higher not infrequently. That's not good.
Yes, when hemoglobin is low, a doctor would usually consider that bleeding might be making it low. Another possible cause is that a person isn't getting enough iron, or producing enough red blood cells (as in marrow cancer), or maybe the red blood cells are being destroyed.
Medtronic and guidant in particular are very popular. Do some google research, there are some published articles on models names and recalls. And types, look into that too, as there are single lead, 2 lead, etc.
Pacers only activate at too low of a rate, they do nothing over a certain heart rate (usually around 40).
But generally, some believe that quality control is much better with brand names than with generics, and others experience better results with brand names. I'd try the generic and see if it works for you -- insurance companies are really punishing you now if you use brand names so it makes sense to give the generic a try.
Classification - T-4
Contraindications - Administration (FDA) has determined that generic levothyroxine and brand-name Synthroid and Levoxyl are equivalent. The FDA requires all drugs—both brand-names and their generic counterparts—to be proven safe and effective. Since generics use the same active ingredients and are shown to work the same way in the body as their brand-name counterparts, they also have the same risks and benefits.
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.
