Vomited A Dark Greenish Black Solid. On Coumadin, Lovenox Medication. What Should I Do?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Vomiting out of a greenish black solid is most likely due to an old bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
While taking coumadin and lovenox such spontaneous bleeding indicates that you need to consult your treating physician to monitor your coagulation profile.
The doses of both may need to be reduced according to your coagulation profile to avoid any such episodes in future.
Do not alter your doses without consulting your physician.
I hope this answers your query effectively.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
