Does etoh have any anticoagulation properties? i had asked this question earlier, which was answered very promptly, but did not directly answer the question. i am taking warfarin for a 1.5 cm pe in the right upper lobe. for a week, i stopped my warafrin

Yes, : Yes, alcohol does have an anticoagulation effect by making the platelets "less sticky" when consumed by itself. I know you realize that what you are doing, stopping warfarin, is extremely risky. Please re-check your inr and discuss these issues with your physician.

Bad idea: Unless directed by your physician stopping your warfarin therapy for a pe is a bad idea. While alcohol (ethanol, or etoh) has anitiplatelet properties, it is not an approved treatment for pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis (dvt). Substituting alcohol for warfarin is a really, really bad idea. I suggest you have your inr checked and consult your physician asap.
