Can Indomethacin And Arfrin Be Taken Together?

Posted on Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Question: Should indomethacin and arfrin be taken together.

Answered by Dr. Grzegorz Stanko (1 hour later)

Brief Answer: This is not a safe connection. Detailed Answer: Hello! Thank you for the query. Warfin and Indomethacin can together cause bleeding especially from gastrointestinal tract. Indomethacin escalates Warfin anticoagulant effect. So this is not a safe connection. So it would be advisable to consult it with doctor and during such consult, Indomethacin should not be taken. Hope this will help. Regards.

Are Warfirin and Aspirin similar as you replied to my query stating as"WARFRIN".

Answered by Dr. Grzegorz Stanko (4 minutes later)

Brief Answer: . Detailed Answer: No it is not the same. You have written "arfrin". I assumed that you were thinking of Warfin. Aspirin and Indomethacin can be take together. Nothing wrong should not happen. Especially if the dosage of Aspirin is 75 mg. Regards.

Brief Answer: . Detailed Answer: I dont think that it is good idea to wait till tomorrow. She may have blood clot in some artery. If so, her cold should get pale and cold. Every hour of delay makes it less possible to save her leg and can result with leg amputation. So please take her to ER. Dopplers ultrasound should be done and in case of blood clot, small surgery to remove it. She can be put on Warfin but after the treatment. Before it, it will be rather Heparin injections. Warfin dosage is different for every patient and should be individually calculated basing on INR results. Hope this will help. Regards.
