A member asked:

What happens if you take too much coumadin (warfarin)?

Bleed: Coumadin (warfarin) is rat poison. It is used as an anticoagulant for certain medical conditions. The levels are closely monitored by your doc. Too much can thin you blood and could cause you to bleed and lose a lot of blood with its own consequences.

Bleed: You can have a serious bleeding problem, long time ago before it became a life saving medicine it used to be a rat poison, of course the doses were too high for rats and they were bleeding to death.
