Frequently Asked Questions
Is warfarin still used now that DOACs are available?
Yes — warfarin remains essential for patients with mechanical heart valves (DOACs are contraindicated), certain antiphospholipid syndrome cases, and patients who cannot afford DOACs. It requires regular INR monitoring but is extremely affordable.
How does warfarin compare to apixaban for atrial fibrillation?
DOACs like apixaban are generally preferred over warfarin for AFib due to no monitoring requirements, fewer drug and food interactions, and lower intracranial bleeding risk. Warfarin remains the choice when DOACs are contraindicated.
What foods interact with warfarin?
Foods high in Vitamin K (leafy greens, broccoli, spinach, kale) reduce warfarin's anticoagulant effect. Grapefruit, cranberry juice, and many medications also interact. Consistency of Vitamin K intake matters more than restriction.
How often do I need INR testing on warfarin?
Initially weekly during dose titration, then every 2–4 weeks once stable. Point-of-care home INR testing devices are available for patients who prefer to self-monitor.
What does generic warfarin cost through Script Unlock?
Generic warfarin is among the cheapest anticoagulants — typically $8–$12/month. Script Unlock pharmacies can provide competitive cash pricing for patients on this affordable but high-monitoring medication.
