In summary, the new oral anticoagulants represent a giant step forward in the quest to replace warfarin. In addition to their enhanced convenience, the new agents are not only safer than warfarin because of the reduced risk of intracranial bleeding, but they also have the potential to be more effective.
Background. Overdose of the oral anticoagulant warfarin (Coumadin), or drug interactions with warfarin, can lead to toxicity. Similarly, toxicity can result from exposure to superwarfarins, which are long-acting anticoagulants used in rodenticides.(See Etiology and Prognosis.).leeding is the primary adverse effect of warfarin and superwarfarin toxicity and is related to the intensity of anticoagulation, length of therapy, the patient's underlying clinical state, and use of other drugs that may affect hemostasis or interfere with warfarin metabolism.
