Coumadin (also known by the generic name “warfarin”) is an anticoagulant—or blood thinner—that reduces the formation of blood clots. It is used to prevent heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular problems resulting from blood clots.
For many patients, Coumadin is a medication they will be on for a very long time, and there are important lifestyle considerations for people who are advised to take it. As a result, the effective management of the medication dosage, as well as the patient’s response to that dosage, is very important to their overall health and well-being.
Sacramento Heart’s Coumadin Clinic helps patients requiring Coumadin/ warfarin therapy. Our professionals will help you find your optimum medication dosage, as well as answer any questions you have about medication side-effects, dietary restrictions, interactions with other medications/antibiotics and more.
