Can coumadin (warfarin) cause bruises?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes : Small superficial bruises are common and means it is working as it should. Bruising on Coumadin (warfarin) could also mean that you're getting too much of the medication. Discuss this with your doctor who will be able to give you the best answer by having your inr measured.
