Coumadin, aka Warfarin is cheap, a generic.
It inhibits Vit. K.
You can eat most anything, spinach is a big vit K veggie. It’s being consistent so the drug can be adjusted to cope.
Aspirin and some other drugs work differently than Warfarin, sort of make the platelets slicker.
I take both. One 81mg.aspirin and Warfarin.
Just had a stent installed a few weeks ago and am on a second platelet ‘slicker’ for 1 month.
Been on Warfarin since 2000 after getting an artificial valve.
Having a blood test about once a month is a PIA .

Sorry for the typos...swear I hate this new touchscreen (Android) for anything texting, drives me insane. If it doesn’t get better I’m looking at a Samsung Galaxy :^(

No, it’s been beautiful since the cold snap a while ago. Very light NE breeze, just barely rocking right now.
AND I hope my entire day is peaceful, I’ve got a five mile walk shead of me, half of which I’ll be burdened eith groceries, through north florida urban blight and the only Caucasian I might see could be in a reflective surface. But I’m used to it and somewhat well known. Still gonna keep it sharp, though... ;^)
Nice walk, actually. Good energy today.
