What are the possible side effects of warfarin?
Warfarin is very important for your health, but it can cause serious and life threatening bleeding problems. See “What is the most important information I should know about warfarin?”
Serious side effects of warfarin also include:
# death of skin tissue (skin necrosis or gangrene). This can happen soon after starting warfarin. It happens because blood clots form and block blood flow to an area of your body. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have pain, color, or temperature change to any area of your body. You may need medical care right away to prevent death or loss (amputation) of your affected body part.
#“purple toes syndrome.” Call your healthcare provider right away if you have pain in your toes and they look purple in color or dark in color.
Other side effects with warfarin include allergic reactions, liver problems, low blood pressure, swelling, low red blood cells, paleness, fever, and rash. Call your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you.
