Best Answer

Please contact your physician, "Coumadin Clinic" nurse, or other medical professional to let them know that you've consumed an extra dose of Coumadin. Only they will be able to properly assist you.

Since Coumadin (warfarin) inhibits blood coagulation, taking an extra dose can significantly predispose to bleeding. Whether the double dose is of any concern depends upon things like your normal Coumadin dose, recent history of antibiotic use, diet and intake of vitamin K, etc.

Is 10mg a high dose of Coumadin?

I was informed by my doctor that this was not a high dose. He informed me that a high dose would be 20 mg per day. Also, some people who have a Coumadin resistant problem can take up to 30 to 40 mg per day of Coumadin. If your INR is not reaching the target number, they will increase your dosage until they finally reach that goal.

What if you double dose Wellbutrin 350mg?

Why would you double dose? 700mg would be a large dose! If you miss a dose take it as soon as you remember then take the next dose at the normal time. Unless you are already close to the next time you should take it. Then just wait. I would never double dose a medication. Talk to your doctor if it is not working for you.

Can you take percacets while on coumadin?

It seems that almost any medication CAN affect coumadin levels in SOME people. Percocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen) will not typically affect Coumadin but in higher doses the acetaminophen (Tylenol) component of Percocet may increase INR levels slightly. You should get your INR checked if you take a lot of Percocets or if your dose is increased or decreased significantly.
