Side Effects bleeding thru urine, stool, bruising
Comments My INR has never been regulated. Bleeding has caused issues with outpatient surgeries. Constant worrying...got to have mechanical valve replaced and thinking of using a tissue valve just to get off coumadin. Tough decision to make

Side Effects bruised and bleeding skin
Comments Without much force, just a bump, my skin will swell-up and turn purple where I bumped it. Another bump at the same spot may cause a skin abrasion and bleeding.
