-major abdominal surgery, etc
start with heparin and continue with oral anticoagulants
*contraindicated w/anti-platelet drugs!
Term
Warfarin sodium
Definition
Anticoagulant, orally effective
-blocks epoxide reductase leading to no gamma-carboxylation of certain coagulation proteins
-in vivo induce hypocoagulability
-chronic alcoholics increased conc of warfarin in blood
