My initial INR was 1.5 then went to 5.0...I experience tiredness on and off throughout the week...is this a normal side effect? Healthy 57 y/o male

Hello,

* Coumadin is a prophylactic drug to prevent further episodes of deep vein thrombosis and its co related unwanted clinical symptoms.

* It is always mandatory to remain in close contact with your treating physician for prothrombin time evaluation over time to time.

Side effects are multiple, but common ones are

- Gastric upset and indigestion, belching, bloating

- Severe bleeding in case of high BP

- Platelet function alteration causing proneness for systemic bleeding

- alteration in some blood reports.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
