My father has been using this medicine Coumadin (Warfarin) for the last 8 years. He has been prescribed and started to use it after he have had a triple bypass. Since then he has had 2 different stents, by different I mean that it was one at a time. to be honest, I still don’t fully know how I should rate this drug and what I need to tell about it. all I can say is that my father is now 79 years old and it really seemed that he has been doing great. But, not so long ago he has got sick and he had to go to hospital. It is believed that all the symptoms he have had (and maybe still has) are, or better said could have the side effects of this medicine Coumadin. I have discussed with the doctors and they wouldn’t put a reason for my father getting sick. Anyway, I just think on how this medication has helped my father combining with the fact that doctors don’t know if the side effects might be a reason of the drug which may be that it has nothing to do with it, so I would give it a good rate. Other than this I don’t remember my father having any other side effects or health issues the time he was using it, except one: in case you would start to somehow interact with some cartoon characters you watch on TV, or you would be able to watch a movie only by closing your eyes then don’t be scared, everything is alright. this is the only side effect my dad had so you know that you’re not the only one with it. in fact I’m not sure if I can call it a negative side effect, I would much more call it a positive side effect because my father was having fun with it, and that’s what I recommend you to do as well in case something like this happens to you too.
