Dear Sir
Thanks for writing to HCM.
The side effects of high dosage of acitrom include bleeding from various body sites. These may include dangerous bleed in brain or from mouth. The other side effects are skin necrosis esp in early phase.However the dose is high or low is best decided by your physician by looking at INR. This should not be your worry. However you must consult him at earliest sign of abnormal bleeding.
