Some people take more and some take less, it depends on your clotting factor.

Yes, Coumadin contains the active ingredient Warfarin, which is a blood thinning agent, it reduces your clotting factor. It is used to help prevent clots for a variety of conditions.

I cannot tell you what the odds are on having 7, you would need to discuss that with your doctor.

Coumadin is a medication that thins out your blood, so that you will not have any blood clots happen. It's a very good medication. Just be VERY CAREFUL NOT TO CUT YOURSELF, reason being is that since your blood is thinned out you will bleed more and its takes longer to stop the bleeding. Also you will bruise yourself alot faster too if you bump into something. You should always ask your Dr. why he/she is giving you this medication and anyothers and also have them explain it to you so that you fully understand and you can always ask a pharmasist about any and all medications. Also you did'nt say how many mg you are taking the higher the # the more you need to be careful on getting an injury. I was on coumadin for my heart so that I would'nt get a blood clot when I was having trouble with my are swelling up I started from 5mg to 10mg. So, I know about this medication. But please ask you Dr/Pharmacy for all and addition information. I hope this helps you, God Bless You.
