If you've been prescribed warfarin (Jantoven) to prevent blood clots, you probably already know that this powerful drug can save your life if you are at risk of or previously had blood clots. But it's also important to remember that warfarin can result in serious side effects.
The same action of warfarin that prevents blood clotting can result in bleeding. Warfarin treatment requires careful monitoring. Certain foods, medications, diet changes and illnesses can interfere with warfarin and increase your risk of bleeding.
If your doctor prescribes warfarin for you, make sure you understand what the potential side effects are and how to help prevent them.
