Adult Dose
Oral
Treatment and prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism, Stroke & Thromboembolism, Post-Myocardial Infarction
Adult: Initially, 2-5 mg qDay for 2 days, OR 10 mg daily for 2 days in healthy individuals
Initiate warfarin on day 1 or 2 of LMWH or unfractionated heparin therapy and overlap until desired INR, THEN discontinue heparin
Check INR after 2 days and adjust dose according to results
Usual maintenance dose: 2-10 mg daily.
Elderly: Anticoagulation
Lower doses required to produce therapeutic level of anticoagulation
Initial: <5 mg PO qDay
Maintenance: 2-5 mg PO qDay
Hepatic impairment: Severe: Avoid.
Child Dose
Thrombosis
Prevention/treatment: If baseline INR is 1.0-1.3, administer loading dose of 0.1-0.2 mg/kg PO qDay × 1 day; check INR on days 2-4 and adjust daily dose to maintain INR between 2.0 and 3.0 (unless valve replacement indicates a higher range)
Use 0.1 mg/kg to initiate therapy with liver impairment or in patients who have had a Fontan procedure
Typical maintenance dose: 0.09-0.33 mg/kg/day, with infants <12 months old often requiring doses at high end of range
Contraindication
Patient w/ haemorrhagic tendencies or blood dyscrasias, recent or contemplated surgery of the CNS or eye, those undergoing traumatic surgery resulting in large open surfaces, overt bleeding or active ulceration involving the GI, genitourinary or resp tract, cerebrovascular haemorrhage, cerebral aneurysms, dissecting aorta, pericarditis and pericardial effusions, bacterial endocarditis, threatened abortion, eclampsia, pre-eclampsia, malignant HTN. Unsupervised patients w/ conditions associated w/ potential high level of non-compliance, spinal puncture and other diagnostic or therapeutic procedures w/ potential for uncontrolled bleeding, major regional or lumbar block anaesth. Concomitant use w/ fibrinolytic drugs (e.g. streptokinase, alteplase). Pregnancy.
Mode of Action
Warfarin inhibits synthesis of vit K-dependent coagulation factors VII, IX, X and II and anticoagulant protein C and its cofactor protein S. No effects on established thrombus but further extension of the clot can be prevented. Secondary embolic phenomena are avoided.
Precaution
Any condition where added risk of haemorrhage, necrosis and/or gangrene is present. Patient w/ heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, infectious diseases or disturbances of intestinal flora (e.g. sprue), indwelling catheters, moderate to severe HTN, vit C or K deficiency, known or suspected deficiency in protein C-mediated anticoagulant response, polycythemia vera, vasculitis, DM. Moderate to severe hepatic or renal impairment. Elderly. Lactation. Patient Counselling Eat a balanced diet w/ a constant amount of vit K. Avoid ingestion of large quantities of certain foods that contain a large amount of vit K (e.g. leafy green vegetables, certain vegetable oils), drastic changes in diet and activities...
