Should I Be Concerned About Missing A Warfarin Pill Inspite Of Having Afib?

default
Posted on Sat, 28 Jun 2014
Question: I have taken 50mg of Toprol and half a 0.25 pill of Alprazolan, as every night. However, I've just remembered that I forgot to take 7.5 mgs of warfarin, which I should have taken 3hrs ago. I have Afib. Should I take the warfarin? Or is it there some danger in combining it so closely in time with the other 2 meds?

I am clicking on the symbol next to "pay and get answer" but nothing is happening. Can someone let me know how to do this?
