While using warfarin the blood is still thick? what can be the cause of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not thin: Despite the colloquial use of the term "blood thinners" Warfarin does not "thin" the blood. It just prolongs the time it takes for the blood to clot.

If warfarin was discontinued because blood became dangerously thin while taking it. Then 3-1/2 days after discontinuation, an un-related antibiotic need arises. Will taking the antibiotic alone [with no more warfarin] cause blood to thin further?
