What will happen if a Warfarin dose is given at the wrong time?

It depends on what is the "wrong time" for what. For example, if taken right before a dental extraction, you would bleed more--that's why they have patients withhold blood thinners for 3 days before an extraction. If you mean you forgot a dose, call your doctor--you shouldn't take one daily dose at 3am forgotten from the morning before, then re-dose at 8am-- it's too close together.

When do you stop taking warfarin?
Warfarin slows the prothrombin time or clotting time of blood. It is prescribed for a number of ailments. An example is for heart patients that have pooling or blood flow problems and the fear of clots in the bloodstream. When the drug creates unwanted bleeding either on the surface or in organs the therapeutic use of warfarin is reconsidered.One patient has an inefficient heart and was taken off of warfarin and put on a low dose aspirin regimen because they had not had a history of strokes. That would be an example of discontinuing warfarin.

What is the most likely adverse event that could result from switching an infant with congenital heart disease who is taking warfarin from breast milk to formula?
Warfarin works by slowing the blood clotting process down. It prevents the clotting proteins( vitamin K) from doing their job fully. Babies on formula may require higher doses of Warfarin because there is less vitamin K in formula than there is in breast milk. So, the most likely adverse event would be thrombosis since there won't be adequate level of Warfarin in the blood if the dose is not adjusted.
