No questions from me. Are you saying that you are disturbed that that the original use was for rat poisoning? That was the point of my comment. There are people who warn others to not take Warfarin because its original use was to kill rats. It's usually the only thing they know about it, but they spread their lack of understanding to anyone else that doesn't know any better.
Warfarin is an affordable and easily reversible anticoagulant. Its anticoagulant activity is the mechanism for killing rats, and it was smart to apply it as a human anticoagulant. For a while, Warfarin was the only outpatient therapy available to people at risk for developing blood clots. It was affordable and easily reversible. The drawback is the requirement for a consistent amount of Vitamin K in the diet and regular, frequent blood testing to maintain a therapeutic dose, and interactions with nearly every other medication.
I started taking it in 2009. Four clots in lower left leg. Sometime between now and 2009, the clots dissolved. Still taking the stuff because the VA says I'm at risk of developing more clots. I think it's highly unlikely, but the thin blood keeps my heart cleaned out and prevents me from getting a stroke. I even quit taking it for a couple of weeks to see if I felt any different. No difference whatsoever. You know if those rats were to get their INR checked once in awhile and have their doses adjusted as necessary, they'd be just like me.
Yep, its an effective, affordable, proven, life-saving medication when used correctly. I think it probably kept a lot of afib patients alive too. I just don't understand why people run around spreading misplaced fear when there's so much verifiable information available.
