Is it safe to stop Warfarin and start using Disprin cardio care?
Patient: Good afternoon doctor , i was put on Warferin for life, i suffer extreme pain in my back and hipjoints i want to stop the warfiren and use Disprin cardio care as it says on the package it unclots the blood same as what warfein does. is it safe for me to do so? Doctor: Hello,    I am not sure what Disprin cardio care is, but it sounds like it might be aspirin, in which case it would not be safe to replace your Warfarin with it.   Whatever Disprin is, it is unlikely to be as effective as Warfarin is for preventing blood clots.   Since blood clots can potentially be very dangerous, I would definitely not stop taking the Warfarin without discussing it with your doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Aaron Branch, General & Family Physician
