A member asked:
Can you tell me if lovenox is used in house for treatment purposes, is there any reason not to go ahead and start coumadin (warfarin) on day 1?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can: It will take about 5 days for Coumadin (warfarin) to become therapeutic. It makes sense to start on day one. (i do).
