Electives and exploratory courses (interest-based) Interest-based electives are part of what makes the middle grades experience special.

Taking warfarin (Coumadin) Warfarin is a medicine that makes your blood less likely to form clots. This may be important if: 1  You have already had blood clots in your leg, arm, heart, or brain.  Your health care provider is worried that a blood clot may form in your body.
If you've been prescribed warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven) to prevent blood clots, you probably already know that this powerful drug can save your life if you are at risk of or have had blood clots. But you may not realize how serious warfarin side effects can be. Warfarin, especially if taken incorrectly, increases your risk of dangerous bleeding. Warfarin side effects can also include interactions with some foods, prescription medicines and over-the-counter supplements. If your doctor prescribes warfarin for you, make sure you understand all the potential warfarin side effects and interactions it could have.
