A member asked:
Can you get a blood clot while taking coumadin (warfarin)?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Depends on level of dosage and response of inr. Reason for therapy is also a significant factor. But even if adequate dosage and level, some small number will progress clotting. Multiple variables, coagulopathy, trauma, stasis cancer, surgery, etc.
