Seminar Brochure

Examine real-life cases where patients have multiple or difficult diagnoses involving warfarin, including managing major drug-drug interactions, monitoring of children and infants, determining temporary discontinuation and safely bridging therapy.

There is ample evidence that the strategy of using warfarin to prevent blood clotting is effective. However, there is little evidence of how to manage individuals taking warfarin. It can be one of the most complex and potentially dangerous drugs if dosage levels are not monitored properly. A variety of clinical situations present challenges for the practitioner caring for patients taking warfarin.

This one-day seminar leads participants through real-life cases where patients have multiple or difficult diagnoses involving warfarin. These situations include managing major drug-drug interactions, monitoring children and infants undergoing anticoagulation therapy, determining if and when warfarin can be temporarily discontinued and safely bridging therapy. Participants will benefit from the more than 20 years experience of a Registered Pharmacist and Certified Anticoagulation Care Provider who has monitored warfarin levels for more than 50,000 patient visits. Attendees are encouraged to share for discussion during the seminar clinical situations that required a difficult decision.
