CYP2C9 and vitamin K epoxide reductase complex, subunit 1 (VKORC1) genotype information can assist in selecting starting dose

If genotype information unavailable, usual starting dose is 2-5 mg/day (modify based on other patient factors)

Range of expected therapeutic doses based on CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes are listed below

VKORC1-GG

  • CYP2C9 *1/*1: 5-7 mg
  • CYP2C9 *1/*2: 5-7 mg
  • CYP2C9 *1/*3: 3-4 mg
  • CYP2C9 *2/*2: 3-4 mg
  • CYP2C9 *2/*3: 3-4 mg
  • CYP2C9 *3/*3: 0.5-2 mg

VKORC1-AG

  • CYP2C9 *1/*1: 5-7 mg
  • CYP2C9 *1/*2: 3-4 mg
  • CYP2C9 *1/*3: 3-4 mg
  • CYP2C9 *2/*2: 3-4 mg
  • CYP2C9 *2/*3: 0.5-2 mg
  • CYP2C9 *3/*3: 0.5-2 mg

VKORC1-AA

  • CYP2C9 *1/*1: 3-4 mg
  • CYP2C9 *1/*2: 3-4 mg
  • CYP2C9 *1/*3: 0.5-2 mg
  • CYP2C9 *2/*2: 0.5-2 mg
  • CYP2C9 *2/*3: 0.5-2 mg
  • CYP2C9 *3/*3: 0.5-2 mg

Dosage Modifications

Hepatic impairment: May potentiate warfarin response because of decreased metabolism and impaired synthesis of clotting factors

Dosing Considerations

Indication determines intensity and duration of therapy

Individualized doses and monitoring of PT/INR are necessary

Monitoring frequency should be daily or once every few days until stabilized; once stable, q4-6 weeks or longer may be appropriate (eg, 12 weeks)

Not all factors causing warfarin dose variability are known, but they include age, race, sex, body weight, concomitant medications, and comorbidities, in addition to genetic factors

Lower starting doses (ie, 2-5 mg/day × 2 days) recommended with the elderly, hepatic impairment, poor nutrition, CHF, high bleeding risk, debilitated patients, heart valve replacement, concomitant medications known to increase warfarin effect, or individuals suspected of having genomic variants

Perioperative management recommendations: Hold warfarin therapy approximately 5 days before surgery; resume warfarin 12-24 hr after surgery; bridge anticoagulation during interruption in patients at high thromboembolism risk

Minor procedures and dental procedures: See ACCP guidelines for specific recommendations

Warfarin has no direct effect on an established thrombus, nor does it reverse ischemic tissue damage

Systemic atheroemboli and cholesterol microemboli; some cases have progressed to necrosis or death; discontinue therapy if such emboli occur

Pregnant women with mechanical heart valves: Therapy may cause fetal harm; however, benefits may outweigh the risks

Thrombosis

Prevention/treatment: If baseline INR is 1.0-1.3, administer loading dose of 0.1-0.2 mg/kg PO qDay × 1 day; check INR on days 2-4 and adjust daily dose to maintain INR between 2.0 and 3.0 (unless valve replacement indicates a higher range)  

Use 0.1 mg/kg to initiate therapy with liver impairment or in patients who have had a Fontan procedure

Typical maintenance dose: 0.09-0.33 mg/kg/day, with infants <12 months old often requiring doses at high end of range

Dosing considerations

  • Consistent anticoagulation in children is difficult and requires close supervision and frequent dose adjustments
  • Refer to ACCP recommendations or institutional protocol for treatment duration dependent on indication
  • Infants and children receiving vitamin K-supplemented nutrition (including infant formulas): May be resistant to warfarin therapy
  • Infants with human-milk diet: May be sensitive to warfarin therapy

Dosing Considerations

Hepatic impairment

  • Hepatic impairment may potentiate warfarin response because of decreased metabolism and impaired synthesis of clotting factors
  • Load: 0.1 mg/kg PO qDay × 2 days
  • Typical maintenance dose: 0.1 mg/kg PO qDay; adjust dose to achieve desired INR
  • Common maintenance dose range: 0.05-0.34 mg/kg PO qDay

Anticoagulation

Lower doses required to produce therapeutic level of anticoagulation

Initial: ≤5 mg PO qDay

Maintenance: 2-5 mg PO qDay

Dosing Considerations

Elderly show greater than expected PT/INR response to anticoagulant effects of warfarin, possibly because of decreased hepatic function resulting in decreased warfarin metabolism and impaired synthesis of clotting factors

Caution should be used in elderly individuals who have increased risk of hemorrhage

            Warnings

            Black Box Warnings

            Warfarin sodium can cause major or fatal bleeding; bleeding is more likely to occur during the starting period and with a higher dose (resulting in a higher INR)

            Risk factors for bleeding include high intensity of anticoagulation (INR greater than 4), age 65 years or older, highly variable INRs, history of gastrointestinal bleeding, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, serious heart disease, anemia, malignancy, trauma, renal insufficiency, concomitant drugs, and long duration of warfarin therapy

            Regular monitoring of INR should be performed on all treated patients; those at high risk of bleeding may benefit from more frequent INR monitoring, careful dose adjustment to desired INR, and a shorter duration of therapy

            Patients should be instructed about prevention measures to minimize the risk of bleeding and to immediately report any signs or symptoms of bleeding to their physician

            Contraindications

            Pregnancy, except in women with mechanical heart valves

            Hemorrhagic tendencies or blood dyscrasias

            Recent or contemplated CNS or eye surgery or traumatic surgery resulting in large open surfaces

            Bleeding tendencies associated with CNS hemorrhage, cerebral aneurysms, dissecting aorta, pericarditis and pericardial effusions, bacterial endocarditis, and active ulceration or overt bleeding of the GI, GU, or respiratory tract

            Threatened abortion, eclampsia, and preeclampsia

            Unsupervised patients with conditions associated with potential high level of noncompliance (eg, dementia, alcoholism, psychosis)

            Spinal puncture and other diagnostic or therapeutic procedures with potential for uncontrollable bleeding

            Major regional or lumbar block anesthesia

            Known hypersensitivity

            Malignant hypertension

            Cautions

            Lower doses may be warranted in the elderly, debilitated patients, malnutrition, CHF, or liver disease

            Elicits no direct effect on an established thrombus, nor does it reverse ischemic tissue damage

            INR >4.0 appears to provide no additional therapeutic benefit in most patients and is associated with a higher risk of bleeding

            Skin necrosis reported with use; caution in patients at risk for hemorrhage, necrosis, or gangrene

            Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, DVT (may defer warfarin until thrombin generation is controlled and thrombocytopenia has resolved)

            Genetic tests may be warranted to determine best dose for individual patients; variations in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genes may modify response

            Advise patients receiving warfarin to carry a notice stating that they are undergoing anticoagulant therapy, to alert medical/emergency personnel

            Use caution in patients with acute infection or active TB or conditions that may alter normal GI flora; antibiotics and fever may change response to warfarin

            May release atheromatous plaque emboli; may experience symptoms depending on site of embolization common organs like pancreas, liver, kidneys, and spleen, which may lead to necrosis or death

            Use caution in patients with prolonged vitamin K insufficiencies

            Thyroid disease may increase warfarin responsiveness

            May impair synthesis of coagulation factors in patients with reduced liver function, regardless of etiology, which in turn may lead to increased warfarin sensitivity

            Use caution in lactation

            Calciphylaxis or calcium uremic arteriolopathy has been reported in patients with and without end-stage renal disease; discontinue warfarin and treat calciphylaxis as appropriate; consider alternative anticoagulant therapy

            Maintain consistent intake of vitamin K-containing foods; high vitamin K consumption may decrease warfarin effect

            In patients with altered glomerular integrity or with history of kidney disease, acute kidney injury may occur with therapy, possibly in relation to episodes of excessive anticoagulation and hematuria; more frequent monitoring of anticoagulation is advised in patients with compromised renal function

            Hepatic impairment may impair synthesis of clotting factors and decrease metabolism of warfarin; conduct more frequent monitoring for bleeding

            Contraindicated in any unsupervised patient with senility; conduct more frequent monitoring for bleeding in elderly patients receiving therapy in any situation

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            Adverse outcomes in pregnancy occur regardless of the health of the mother or the use of medications; estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for indicated population is unknown

            Exposure during pregnancy causes a recognized pattern of major congenital malformations (warfarin embryopathy and fetotoxicity), fatal fetal hemorrhage, and an increased risk of spontaneous abortion and fetal mortality

            Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating therapy

            Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment, and for at least 1 month after final dose of warfarin

            Lactation

            Not excreted in breast milk as reported in limited published study (AAP Committee states compatible with nursing); because of potential for serious adverse reactions, including bleeding in breastfed infant, consider developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with mother’s clinical need for therapy; monitor breastfeeding infants for bruising or bleeding

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.

            Pharmacology

            Mechanism of Action

            Interferes with hepatic synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X, as well as proteins C and S; S-warfarin is 4 times more potent than R-warfarin

            Warfarin depletes functional vitamin K reserves, which in turn reduces synthesis of active clotting factors, by competitively inhibiting subunit 1 of the multi-unit vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKOR1)

            Absorption

            Onset: 36-48 hr

            Duration: 2-5 days

            Peak plasma time: 1.5-3 days

            Distribution

            Protein bound: 99% (albumin)

            Vd: 0.14 L/kg

            Metabolism

            R-warfarin: Hepatic P450 enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP3A4

            S-warfarin: CYP2C9

            Elimination

            Half-life: 20-60 hr (patient specific)

            Pharmacogenomics

            Metabolized primarily via oxidation in the liver by CYP2C9; exerts its anticoagulant effect by inhibiting the protein VKORC1

            Dose influenced by genetic factors (CYP2C9, VKORC1 genotypes)

            Carriers of CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 require ~19-33% dose reduction, respectively, per allele compared with persons who carry the *1 allele

            Carriers of the VKORC1 A allele require ~28% dose reduction per allele in their genotype compared with persons who carry none

            WARFARIN - ORAL

            (WARF-uh-rin)

            COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Coumadin, Jantoven

            WARNING: Warfarin can cause very serious (possibly fatal) bleeding. This is more likely to occur when you first start taking this medication or if you take too much warfarin.To decrease your risk for bleeding, your doctor or other health care provider will monitor you closely and check your lab results (INR test) to make sure you are not taking too much warfarin. Keep all medical and lab appointments. Tell your doctor right away if you notice any signs of serious bleeding. See also Side Effects section.

            USES: This medication is used to treat blood clots (such as in deep vein thrombosis-DVT or pulmonary embolus-PE) and/or to prevent new clots from forming in your body. Preventing harmful blood clots helps to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. Conditions that increase your risk of developing blood clots include a certain type of irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation), heart valve replacement, recent heart attack, and certain surgeries (such as hip/knee replacement).Warfarin is commonly called a "blood thinner," but the more correct term is "anticoagulant." It helps to keep blood flowing smoothly in your body by decreasing the amount of certain substances (clotting proteins) in your blood.

            HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking warfarin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor or other health care professional, usually once a day. It is very important to take it exactly as directed. Do not increase the dose, take it more often, or stop using it unless directed by your doctor.The dosage is based on your medical condition, lab tests (such as INR), and response to treatment. Your doctor or other health care provider will monitor you closely while you are taking this medication to determine the right dose for you.Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day.It is important to eat a balanced, consistent diet while taking warfarin. Some foods can affect how warfarin works in your body and may affect your treatment and dose. Avoid sudden large increases or decreases in your intake of foods high in vitamin K (such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale, spinach, and other green leafy vegetables, liver, green tea, certain vitamin supplements). If you are trying to lose weight, check with your doctor before you try to go on a diet.Since this drug can be absorbed through the skin and lungs and may harm an unborn baby, women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should not handle this medication or breathe the dust from the tablets.

            SIDE EFFECTS: Nausea, loss of appetite, or stomach/abdominal pain may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.This medication can cause serious bleeding if it affects your blood clotting proteins too much (shown by unusually high INR lab results). Even if your doctor stops your medication, this risk of bleeding can continue for up to a week. Tell your doctor right away if you have any signs of serious bleeding, including: nosebleeds that happen often or don't stop, unusual pain/swelling/discomfort, unusual/easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts or gums, unusually heavy/prolonged menstrual flow, pink/dark urine, coughing up blood, vomit that is bloody or looks like coffee grounds, severe headache, dizziness/fainting, unusual tiredness/weakness, bloody/black/tarry stools, chest pain, shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop, severe stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin.This drug rarely has caused very serious (possibly fatal) problems if its effects lead to small blood clots (usually at the beginning of treatment). This can lead to severe skin/tissue damage that may require surgery or amputation if left untreated. Patients with certain blood conditions (protein C or S deficiency) may be at greater risk. Get medical help right away if any of these rare but serious side effects occur: painful/red/purplish patches on the skin (such as on the toe, breast, abdomen), signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine), vision changes, confusion, trouble speaking, weakness on one side of the body.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.

            PRECAUTIONS: Before taking warfarin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: blood disorders (such as anemia, hemophilia), bleeding problems (such as bleeding of the stomach/intestines, bleeding in the brain), blood vessel disorders (such as aneurysms), recent major injury/surgery, kidney disease, liver disease, alcohol use, mental/mood disorders (including memory problems), frequent falls/injuries.It is important that all your doctors and dentists know that you take warfarin. Before having surgery or any medical/dental procedures, tell your doctor or dentist that you are taking this medication and about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).Avoid getting injections into the muscles. If you must have an injection into a muscle (for example, a flu shot), it should be given in the arm. This way, it will be easier to check for bleeding and/or apply pressure bandages.This medication may cause stomach bleeding. Daily use of alcohol while using this medicine will increase your risk for stomach bleeding and may also affect how this medication works. Limit alcoholic beverages. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about how much alcohol you may safely drink.If you have not been eating well, if you have an illness or infection that causes fever, vomiting, or diarrhea for more than 2 days, or if you start using any antibiotic medications, contact your doctor or pharmacist right away because these conditions can affect how warfarin works.This medication can cause heavy bleeding. To lower the chance of getting cut, bruised, or injured, use great caution with sharp objects like safety razors and nail cutters. Use an electric razor when shaving and a soft toothbrush when brushing your teeth. Avoid activities such as contact sports. If you fall or injure yourself, especially if you hit your head, call your doctor right away. Your doctor may need to check you.The FDA has stated that generic warfarin products are interchangeable. However, consult your doctor or pharmacist before switching warfarin products. Be careful not to take more than one medication that contains warfarin unless specifically directed by the doctor or health care provider who is monitoring your warfarin treatment.Older adults may be at greater risk for bleeding while using this drug.Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. You should not become pregnant while using warfarin. Warfarin may harm an unborn baby. Your doctor should order a pregnancy test before you start this medication. Ask about reliable forms of birth control while using this medication and for at least 1 month after the last dose. If you become pregnant, talk to your doctor right away about the risks and benefits of this medication. If you are planning pregnancy, discuss a plan for managing your condition with your doctor before you become pregnant. Your doctor may switch the type of medication you use during pregnancy.Since this drug can be absorbed through the skin and lungs and may harm an unborn baby, women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should not handle this medication or breathe the dust from the tablets.Very small amounts of this medication may pass into breast milk but is unlikely to harm a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.

            DRUG INTERACTIONS: See also How to Use section.Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.Warfarin interacts with many prescription, nonprescription, vitamin, and herbal products. This includes medications that are applied to the skin or inside the vagina or rectum. The following interactions listed do not contain all possible drug interactions. The interactions with warfarin usually result in an increase or decrease in the "blood-thinning" (anticoagulant) effect. Your doctor or other health care professional should closely monitor you to prevent serious bleeding or clotting problems. While you are taking warfarin, it is very important to tell your doctor or pharmacist of any changes in medications, vitamins, or herbal products that you are taking.Some products that may interact with this drug include: imatinib, marijuana (cannabis), dronabinol, mifepristone, other drugs that can cause bleeding/bruising (including "blood thinners" such as apixaban/dabigatran).Aspirin, aspirin-like drugs (salicylates), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib) may have effects similar to warfarin. These drugs may increase the risk of bleeding problems if taken during treatment with warfarin. Carefully check all prescription/nonprescription product labels (including drugs applied to the skin such as pain-relieving creams) since the products may contain NSAIDs or salicylates. Talk to your doctor about using a different medication (such as acetaminophen) to treat pain/fever. However, if your doctor has told you to take low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke (usually 81-162 milligrams a day), you should keep taking the aspirin unless your doctor tells you not to. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.This medication may interfere with certain lab tests (such as theophylline levels), possibly causing false test results. Make sure lab personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.

            OVERDOSE: If someone has overdosed and has serious symptoms such as passing out or trouble breathing, call 911. Otherwise, call a poison control center right away. US residents can call 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call 1-844-764-7669. Symptoms of overdose may include: bloody/black/tarry stools, pink/dark urine, unusual/prolonged bleeding.

            NOTES: Do not share this medication with others.Lab and/or medical tests (such as INR, complete blood count) must be done while you are taking this medication. Keep all medical and lab appointments. Consult your doctor for more details.

            MISSED DOSE: For the best possible benefit, do not miss any doses. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you don't remember until the next day, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up because this could increase your risk for bleeding. Keep a record of missed doses to give to your doctor or pharmacist. Contact your doctor or pharmacist if you miss 2 or more doses in a row.

            STORAGE: Store at room temperature away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medications away from children and pets.Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so.
