Hi, my mother is 54 years old and she is suffering from heart arrhythmias for some time already. When she last time visited her cardiologist he prescribed her Coumadin among some other medications. I would like to know something more about this medication and something about its use. Thank you very much.
Hi, I am also using Coumadine and it is medication which changes viscosity of blood. Purpose of such action is to prevent possible forming of thrombus which may appear because of irregular heart beat. Such thrombus may cause many serious, life threatening, conditions. However your mother has to check her blood viscosity very often and it is so called INR.
