Excerpt

As one of the most complex and widely prescribed drugs in North America, warfarin is a “hassle” drug due to its narrow therapeutic index, individualized dosing, INR monitoring, drug interactions, and high risk of bleed and patient noncompliance [1]. Fear of warfarin has led to under prescribing, subtherapeutic dosing and increased risk of thromboembolic events [15]. …
