Health Conditions

It is extremely important that you take warfarin exactly as prescribed by your physician. Any unmonitored changes in your warfarin treatment could result in serious bleeding or clotting complications.

It is best to take warfarin around the same time everyday. If you miss a dose of warfarin at the scheduled time, take the dose as soon as you remember if its the same day. If you miss a dose and do not remember until the next day, do not double the dose to make up for the missed dose. Be sure to report any missed doses or mistakes in taking doses to your healthcare provider.

Finally, be sure you do not run out of your warfarin tablets. Get your prescription refilled on time and alert your doctor if you need additional refills on your warfarin prescription.
