Can Warfarin Cause Hematoma?
my father is taking Warfarin but is also experiencing minor strokes. We also found out he has a subdural hematoma. We were told to take him off the Warfarin. What is the Warfarin doing to the hematoma? Will it get worse and what could happen? We re worried if he goes off the Warfarin he ll have a MAJOR stroke. Thank you, Gayle
