Question 7

on warfarin, what are suitable cold/flue medication that i can take? thanks

Accepted Answer

Over the counter,: avoid medications with aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, naproxen).  You should be able to use acetaminophen.  Many flu/cold drugs contain antihistamines and/or decongestants, which are probably okay.

Question 8

any medication to last long in bed for sex i'm on warfarin?

Accepted Answer

Premature ejaculate?: I assume you mean that you ejaculate too quickly and would like to extend the time you spend in intercourse.  You could try masturbating before sex with your partner, wearing a condom, or there are several otc products that contain a local anesthetic in cream to numb the penis so that you do not ejaculate quite as rapidly.  As a last resort there is a medication called depoxitine.

Question 9

if you have had only one atrial fibrilation episode and are on coumadin, (warfarin) when can you stop this medication?

Accepted Answer

Depends: That is a tough question and a matter of opinion. Whether you need Coumadin (warfarin) in the first place depends on the chad score (how many risk factors you have). If the afib was related to a temporary situation, such as surgery, it is more likely that the Coumadin (warfarin) can be stopped. Exactly when, is partly a matter of opinion. The longer you go without recurrence, the more likely it is safe to stop.

Question 10

what gout medications can be taken with warfarin?

Accepted Answer

Acute?: If this is an acute attack I assume you are talking about then you are very limited. First of all if you  know you have gout then I hope you are managed by an internist or Reumatologist.  For an acute gout attack the options are Steroids, low dose and short term such as a Medrol (methylprednisolone) dose pak, Colcryss, and or possible Steroid injection. All of these options should only be administered by a doctor.
