I have been given a prescription for
tritace 5mg. Daily (warfrin). I have
read the leaflet with the medication and
this says the normal dosage
(commencement) is 1.25mgs daily. I have
asked my gp why my dosage is 4 times that
recommended by the manufacturer but he
will not answer me. Neither will he tell
what the probable consequences of this
400% increase in dosage are likely to be.
Is this dosage of warfrin dangerous over
a period of months? Am I right to refuse
to take this medication.?
I have never had a heart attack, stroke,
diabetes.Liver complaint of kidney
problems. This morning I have been
putting new ridge tiles on my house roof,
I do lots of heavy gardening, digging,
moving flag-stones, house-painting,
decorating, garden fencing etc. My
normal/regular bp is 135/75 or thereabouts
