A member asked:
My wife got a clot below the knee while taking warfarin, between 6 and 7 tablets a day. is that a normal side effect of the drug?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: As warfarin is intended to prevent clots, you should go with your wife to discuss with her doctor if there are issues with the warfarin regimen or if your wife may have an increased risk for clots.
