Warfarin, also known as Coumadin, is the most widely prescribed anticoagulant drug in North America but despite its effectiveness treatment with Warfarin has several shortcomings. Many commonly used medications interact with Warfarin, as do some foods, which may enhance or reduce its anticoagulation effect. This book explains how Warfarin works, giving readers an understanding in how food and medications alter its effects, and also provides information on how to enjoy a normal, healthy diet while using the drug, manage unusual situations, travel with Warfarin and much more. Includes Vitamin K food list.

The anti-coagulant Coumadin� can be challenging to manage -- slight changes in its blood levels can lead to either ineffectiveness and stroke or bleeding episodes. What's more, a wide range of foods and medications can alter blood levels in conjunction with this medication. In a single, accessible book, author Diana Schneider explains how Coumadin� works, letting readers understand how food and medications alter its effects. She also provides information on how to enjoy a normal, healthy diet while using the drug, manage unusual situations, travel with Coumadin�, and much more.

The International Symposium on The New Dimensions of Warfarin Prophylaxis held on October 16-18, 1986 in New York City was conceived as a forum to bring together physicians and other scientists knowledgeable about the pharmacological effects of warfarin on the hemostatic mechanism and the clinical usefulness of this compound in the prevention of thromboembolic phenomena. The coumarin compounds have commanded a striking breadth of interest among members of the biomedical research community for almost one-half century. Aspects of its effects on the vitamin K-dependent proteins, on the laboratory recognition of the drug's pharmacologic action and its use as a therapeutic agent in a variety of disease states have been actively studied with increasing intensity in the past several decades. Thus, the present state of these studies seemed to be a timely subject for discussion, not only to gather together in one place representative samples of the myriad of data on warfarin, but also to underscore the ever increasing necessity for communication between basic research and clinical practice. The content and organization of this monograph reflect the scope and importance of warfarin prophylaxis. One of the unique aspects of this publication is that it spells out in one place the warfarin story from molecular biology through clinical trials to future directions of research and patient care.

Warfarin is one of the most commonly used anticoagulant drugs worldwide with a role in the treatment for a variety of conditions, such as atrial fibrillation, artificial heart valves, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and antiphospholipid syndrome. Although effective as an anticoagulant drug, care must be taken in warfarin administration as it interacts with many commonly used medications and some foodstuffs. This book presents current research in the study and uses of warfarin.

Warfarin reduces the activity of both vitamin K dependent clotting factors and the natural anticoagulant proteins C and S. The anticoagulant response is usually obtained after 5 to 7 days of treatment. In the treatment of thrombosis, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in therapeutic doses is used concomitantly with warfarin. LMWH is not stopped until the INR (international normalised ratio) has been within the therapeutic range for 2 days. Anticoagulant therapy without an existing thrombosis, for example in atrial fibrillation (AF), is started with warfarin alone unless the patient has a known specific thrombophilic disorder. The possibility of bleeding must be borne in mind after trauma, particularly when the head, neck, back or torso have been injured, and monitoring of the clinical condition, INR and blood picture must be arranged.The frequency of INR monitoring should be increased when a new medication is started, an old one is stopped or its dosing changed (INR after 3–5 days), as well as when there is a sudden change in the patient’s condition.In exacerbating heart failure INR has the tendency of rising, and thus the need for warfarin is reduced. In hypertension, warfarin must only be used when normotension has been achieved.A patient who manages warfarin treatment and its monitoring well may go over to self-monitoring; after sufficient guidance he/she can adjust the warfarin dose him-/herself within defined limits.

Scientific Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Medicine - Public Health, grade: 1, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: Medication errors remain life threatening mistakes affecting the delivery of health care. Medical errors are considered as a global problem capable of increasing the length of hospitals stay, mortality rate and other related costs. Though medication errors can be caused by any healthcare professional, a high percentage of such mistakes are made by nurses especially during drug administration. The current research indicates that thousands of Americans die on an annual basis owing to medication errors. Nurses commit majority of errors during intravenous injection of drugs while poor hand writing witnessed among primary care givers often results to dosing errors. Other primary care givers use abbreviations during prescriptions making it hard for pharmacists to interpret hence rising the risk of medication errors. Medication errors can also be attributed to inadequate pharmacological knowledge and lack of awareness of the route of the administration. Further, Medication errors are also attributed to complexities within the healthcare environment particularly multiple processes involved in the medication process ranging from packaging to the actual administration of the drug (Health Services Support Agency, 2012). This research paper discusses medication error with warfarin and its consequences.

This cookbook is for people on the blood thinner, warfarin. Jan was put on warfarin in 2012 and was warned about eating 'greens' as they contain an anti-dote to warfarin - Vitamin K. She was told 'simply substitute and eat the same amount of greens each day'. She quickly realised that there was nothing 'simple' about this process. Jan researched the facts then experimented and developed a set of dishes which were 'safe' for her by being low in Vitamin K but which her extended family could also enjoy. Healthy Living with Warfarin is the result of that journey and covers the complete range of meals from breakfast to dessert. It is not a diet plan of any sort but a set of dishes low in Vitamin K to which high Vitamin K vegetables and fruits can be added.

Anticoagulants can be dangerous drugs. Developed to save lives by preventing and treating thrombosis, these widely used medications are linked to unacceptable levels of morbidity and mortality. According to a study by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, 8.2% of hospitalized patients on warfarin and 13.6% exposed to heparin experience an adverse drug event. To prevent these events from occurring, clinicians monitor anticoagulation therapy closely. But there are still questions. What is the risk of stroke in a patient who has specified CHADS2 risk factors? What is the recommended perioperative treatment? Find life-saving solutions quickly to these challenges and more with Anticoagulation Therapy: A Point-of-Care Guide, edited by William Dager, Michael Gulseth, and Edith Nutescu. This concise reference is designed with the busy clinician and resident in mind. It provides a quick way to access necessary clinical and therapeutic information that has the potential to improve the lives when many risk factors are at play and time is of the essence. Inside you’ll find: Quick reference elements such as tables figures to easily access key information Clinical pearls and bullets to highlight real life application Selected guideline statements from leading organizations 19 chapters covering a broad range of topics The second book in the Point-of-Care series, Anticoagulation Therapy is led by a team of editors with more than 77 combined years of clinical experience, including insight from 19 contributors. The book is divided into three sections, including: Anticoagulation Medication Management, Conditions Requiring Anticoagulation Therapy, and Practical Monitoring and Coagulation Laboratory Insights.
