I take warfarin. I have a cut on my lip that will not stop bleeding. Can you help me with a way to do this.
Im recently diagnosed with A-Fib and am sheduled for an electro-cardioversion next week (after 4 weeks warfarin therapy). The cardiologist wants to start me on Sotalol 3 days before on an outpatient basis. I've read where Sotalol should only be started in a closely monitored hospital setting for 3 days. (WebMD, NIH.gov, others..), and tells me this is common practice.
I would appreciate hraing from others on Sotalol as to how their dosage was started..
s been a struggle for him to maintain an INR of 2.5; his current dosing is 17.5 mg daily, and alternating 20mg every other day. Even with that dosing it's hard to keep his INR up. We are very careful with his diet and he basically eats no green leafy vegi. We have noticed since the addtition of the 20 mg every other day that his memory is fading quickly.

Can you take what with it?
In general, patients on heparin should not experiment with supplements without their doctor's approval. Supplements can be great, but they aren't as exact in their dosing as a drug like heparin, and doctors don't know much about them.

And i am a short temper person, i often angry on my child and wife, my anger lavel is very very high, i scared if i ll do something wrong with my son and wife.
heparin is used because it acts immediately. Warfarin might be given, but it takes a day or two to begin working.
But heparin is given by injection or instead usually by IV, so it's not practical except when the patient is in the hospital. Warfarin is oral.
IV is better because the dose that is delivered to the bloodstream is more sure. Injecting heparin into the body can results in variable dosing, depending on the nature of where the heparin is injected (e.g.
I have been on Warfarin for over a month and suddenly developed a rash on my arms and legs. What can I do about it?
The safety and effectiveness of these dosing interval adjustment recommendations have not been clinically evaluated in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment, therefore

clinical response to treatment and renal function should be closely monitored in these patients [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. There are no data to recommend use of VIREAD tablets 150, 200 or 250 mg or VIREAD oral powder in patients with renal impairment.
Based on the results of these tests, you would then make a further small adjustment in meds, if necessary. Keep testing every 4 - 6 weeks until your levels are stable and you're feeling good.
After that testing can become less frequent. Every 4 - 6 months would be appropriate, but more frequently if you have symptoms.
Hope this helps.
Hi i suffer from blood clots i suffered a PE, arterial clots and dvt all at the same time, i also clotted while on warfarin in hospital so the doctors want my inr higher than most between 2 and 3. My last inr results were 2.9 and i take 8mg of warfarin.
Unknown. Warfarin metabolism normally occurs through the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoenzyme system, with excretion occurring in the urine as inactive metabolites. It is postulated that large doses of acetaminophen may "exhaust" the capability of the CYP450 system to metabolize warfarin. Additionally, DARVOCET-N 100 TABLETS may reduce functional factor VII.
Management: Monitor coagulation status and adjust the dosage of COUMADIN 4MG TABLETS (BLUE) accordingly.
It is transient for many people meaning it will go away as you get used to the medication. There may be a dosing adjustment needed. Please speak to your doctor about it.
The plasma half-life of tramadol following a single and multiple dosing was 6 and 7 hours, respectively. This increase in half-life upon multiple dosing is not considered to be clinically significant or to warrant dosage adjustment for chronic use."
I've also read that 5x the half life takes you to a level that's deemed insignificant.
t compatable with your system and an adjustment may need to be made...common side effects are the dizziness and feeling tired however................shortness of breath is not one of them and if it were me i would call the doc after you read this to let them know about the SOB.....you want to make sure there are no clot issues happening and the three symptoms you posted are three of those that could happen.....i would just put my mind at ease and make the call now...
I had to change doctors mid way through the dosage adjustment as I moved to Japan and my communication with the doctors here is minimum, thanks to a language barrier!!!
I suggest that you ask the hospital or the doctor who requested the test since they may have their own protocol regarding tamoxifen dosage adjustment in accordance with p450 levels.

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...
