What to Watch For

Because warfarin can cause bleeding if not properly monitored, notify your doctor as soon as possible if you experience any of the following:

  • Excessive nose bleeds
  • Excessive bleeding from cuts or scrapes
  • Excessive bleeding from your gums
  • Discoloration of your stools (dark and tarry) or bright red blood in stools
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding
  • Unusual or easy bruising
  • Persistent nausea or vomiting
  • Stomach pain
  • Yellowing of eyes/skin
  • Persistent, severe back pain

Although unlikely, immediately notify your doctor if you experience a severe allergic reaction to warfarin. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and trouble breathing.
