Coumadin Vs Warfarin (Page 3) (Top voted first)
UpdatedMy mom was on coumadin for many years but then her insurance company told her she had to take warfarin as this is the one they would pay for. Is there really any different in these two drugs? It seems to me that she has been having more problems with the warfarin (keeping this medication at the right level) than the coumadin. I was told they were the same medications and do the same. I just wanted to know if some people have difficulties taking warfarin vs coumadin??? Thanks.

Please let us know. I have been on both..then I was switched to Xarelto was doing great until I was told to go back on Coumadin as my embolism is caused by own body..I inherited this from my grandfather according to blood tests..funny they recommend Coumadin, but prescribed Warfarin. Go figure I’m not sure they know.
I have had both. I recently was told they no longer mae Coumadin..I do believe they are one in the same thing..I started in 2011 rat poison is rat poison. But it’s doing it’s job for my disease. Multiple embolism in the lungs..Aka known as Anticoagulant Lupus.
My Hematologist was adamant that I stay on Coumadin, but I know that the pharmacy always fills my prescription with Warfarin. What is the difference between the two? I am positive for Anticoagulant Lupus.
Anyone know of a safe effective alternative to Warfarin? This drug train is the pits.
My Korean acupuncturist is brilliant..treating my AFIB and says I am going to be just fine. This method of acupuncture medicine goes straight to the root cause. Its amazing how my energy came back after my first treatment. She says she will give me herbs to thin the blood naturally. If you are in NYC, GO TO DR. CHUNG, SHE IS A HIGHLY EXPERIENCED DR.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.
Wafarine is identical to Coumadin. Green pill is 2.5mg
Pink pill is 5 mg
White p. is 10 mg
You can send me some detailes, why you were put on blood thinner and perhaps, I will give you more alternatives.
