Coumadin (warfarin) is the active ingredient in rat poison. That being said, Coumadin is dosed, for humans, in a manner which prevents blood clotting (especially for those at risk), and does not act as a poison at the therapeutic dosage level. (However, when rats ingest the high concentrations of warfarin in rat poison, they bleed to death, internally.)

One example of this is Coumadin (Warfarin). This anti-coagulation drug was first developed as a rat poison. It would cause the rat to excessively bleed, thus this is how it killed them. Later they determined if they can get the dosing right, it can be used for patients who have clotting disorders.

No. Coumadin is a fancy medical name for a sophisticated medication used in heart disease treatment. In more powerful form it is also sold as a rat poison under the brand name WARFARIN.Coumadin is a brand name. Warfarin is the generic. All dose strengths of one are available in the other, thus "in more powerful form it is also sold as a rat poison under the brand name WARFARIN."

It's the other way around. Coumadin, long-time anticoagulant medication used by humans was applied as a rat toxin. The idea was that, a medication in a dosage harmless to humans would prove fatal for rats, mostly because of comparative sizes: A dose for a 150lb human was a massive overdose for a 6oz. rat. And this worked for a while. However, rats evolved past this and now, a human-normal dose of coumadin is no longer toxic for rats. To address this we've gone on to "super-coumadin" for rats -- another anticoagulant, only this time the rat-lethal (or LD50) does is also acutely toxic to humans.
