Abstract:
Background and Aim : Warfarin is an anti-coagulant drug affects by inhibiting production ofvitamin K. It has many interactions with many drugs by binding to albumin and interfering ofenzymes in the pathway to metabolism. The anti-coagulant effect begins within 36-48 hours andis used to prevent heart disease and embolism. Because of its narrow therapeutic index, the risk ofpoisoning is common with bleeding disorders. Effects and poisoning are evaluated by measuringPT and INR.This study’s aim was to investigate the frequency of poisoning with warfarin at Sinahospital of Tabriz between 2013-2017Methods : In this study we interviewed 144 warfarin-poisoned patients with following up of theirrecords.
