Unstable INR levels.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

The main interaction between primidone and coumadin use affects the INR levels (unstable INR level) and subsequently abnormal bleeding.

Other features may include stomach problems such upset stomach, lack of appetite etc.

It is necessary a close follow up of INR levels in order to adjust correctly the coumadin dose.
