Title: Warfarin [Coumadin] Post by Sir Eoin O Fada on Aug 10th, 2025 at 6:47pm
This medication is used by many thousands of Australians.
In the USA it comes in 9 tablet dosages allowing for a dosage that in most cases can be fulfilled with a single tablet. Cracking tablets in half is not recommended because of uneven distribution of the drug within the tablet. In Australia tablets come in 3 dosages The bean counters having worked out that combinations plus cracked in half tablets can cover requirements. Thus if you need a 3 milligram dose, 1+2=3, 2+2=4 and so on; trouble is you have to buy two lots of tablets, so double the cost of your medication. But you’re saving the Government some money, so you are doing your bit. |
