Hi welcome to health care magic
warfarin sodium and mesasal (mesalamine) do have drug interactions.
u should take care if patient develops any generalised weakness
INR which is used to monitor warfarin dose may increase due to mesalamine, kindly
look for bleeding manifestations .
if any mucosal bleed occurs,go to a near by hospital as soon as possible and stop
warfarin
