Is it dangerous to have a 1.0 blood level of coumadin?
Yes. Coumadin (warfarin) is taken as an anticoagulant to help prevent a heart attack/stroke. A reading of 1.0 is far below the correct range of 2.0 to 3.0. To fix the problem, doctors generally prescribe a larger dose (up to 5mg) and insist on weekly blood tests. There are some foods which tend to counteract the benefits of coumadin (e.g. broccoli) and thus a doctor may suggest a change in diet. The key element here is moderation and no major binges.
Can you take Lexapro and coumadin?
My doctor prescribed 10 mg of Lexapro to me while I was taking 4mg of Coumadin daily. Not sure if it makes a difference but I am only on Coumadin for another 3 months and have been taking Lexapro for about a month. So I would imagine it is safe as long as you continue to have your INR levels monitored. But you may want to check with your dr especially if you need to be on Coumadin long-term or even forever in addition to the Lexapro.
