Coumadin Side Effects?

[MarcoPolo]

Other than potential bleeding, are there any other known side effects of taking Coumadin? For example, cramps, fatigue, rashes, or other things that might be bothersome on a day to day basis.

Thanks.

Been on it for over a year, no problems that I have noticed. (generic Warfarin)

Was on brand name Coumadin for years with no problems and have been on generic Warfarin for years with no problem, even bleeding issues, so long as I stayed within, or close to, INR range. Take it as prescribed and test routinely and you should have no problems.

to my understanding people who are (what I would call ill and) taking a bunch of other medications, or have some other serious problems (called comorbidities) can experience side effects. The list of observed ones is quite long.

But as we've been observing warfarin in use for over 50 years its no surprise that we've found more than drugs which have been around for only 10 years

Personally I have had no side effects except for anxiety of another botched blood sample to monitor my INR, and that has vanished with my home testing which is no more hassle than what diabetics do. Except I test weekly and they test a few times a day.
