Clinical monograph: warisan

Warfarin is an oral anticoagulant that inhibits the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, which are essential for normal blood coagulation. It is commonly used to prevent thromboembolic events, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), particularly in patients with atrial fibrillation or those with prosthetic heart valves.

Indications

  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Pulmonary embolism
  • Prosthetic heart valve
  • Myocardial infarction
  • Transient ischemic attack

Dosage

Children: Dosing in pediatric patients should be determined based on individual clinical circumstances and monitored closely. Refer to the B

Adults: The dosage of warfarin is individualized based on INR monitoring and can vary significantly from patient to patient. Initial doses typically range from 2 to 5 mg daily, with adjustments made based on INR results.

Mechanism of action

Warfarin works by inhibiting vitamin K epoxide reductase, an enzyme critical for the recycling of vitamin K. This action leads to a decrease in the synthesis of biologically active forms of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X in the liver, resulting in anticoagulation.

Pharmacodynamics

The anticoagulant effect of warfarin is dose-dependent and is influenced by factors such as age, body weight, dietary vitamin K intake, and concurrent medications. The onset of action typically takes several days, as existing clotting factors must be depleted before the anticoagulant effect becomes evident. The therapeutic range is monitored using the International Normalized Ratio (INR), aimed at preventing thromboembolic complications while minimizing the risk of bleeding.

Pharmacokinetics

Warfarin is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, with peak plasma concentrations occurring within 1 to 4 hours after oral administration. It is highly protein-bound (approximately 97%), primarily to albumin, and has a long half-life of 20 to 60 hours, which allows for once-daily dosing. Warfarin is metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P450 enzymes, particularly CYP2C9, and its elimination is influenced by factors such as liver function and the presence of other medications that may induce or inhibit its metabolism.

Contra-indications

  • Active bleeding
  • Severe liver disease
  • Severe renal impairment
  • Hypersensitivity to warfarin or any of its components
  • Pregnancy (except in certain cases with close monitoring)

Adverse effects

  • Bleeding complications
  • Hematoma
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding
  • Skin necrosis
  • Purple toe syndrome
  • Allergic skin reactions
  • Liver enzyme abnormalities

Interactions

  • Anticoagulants (increased bleeding risk)
  • Antiplatelet agents (increased bleeding risk)
  • NSAIDs (increased bleeding risk)
  • Certain antibiotics (e.g., metronidazole, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole may increase warfarin effect)
  • Antidepressants (e.g., SSRIs may increase bleeding risk)
  • Herbal supplements (e.g., ginkgo biloba, garlic, ginger may increase bleeding risk)
  • Vitamin K (antagonizes warfarin effects)

Precautions

  • Regular monitoring of INR levels
  • Use with caution in patients with a history of bleeding disorders
  • Adjust doses based on dietary vitamin K intake
  • Avoid sudden changes in medication or diet that may affect INR
  • Educate patients about signs of bleeding

Pregnancy

Warfarin is contraindicated during pregnancy due to the risk of fetal harm, particularly during the first trimester and close to delivery.

Breast-feeding

Warfarin is excreted in breast milk in small amounts; however, it is generally considered safe during breastfeeding with monitoring.

Storage

Store at room temperature (15-30 degrees Celsius) in a tightly closed container, away from light and moisture.

Formulations

  • Tablets (various strengths)
  • Injection (IV formulation available in some settings)
