Coumadin Vs Warfarin (Page 3)

My mom was on coumadin for many years but then her insurance company told her she had to take warfarin as this is the one they would pay for. Is there really any different in these two drugs? It seems to me that she has been having more problems with the warfarin (keeping this medication at the right level) than the coumadin. I was told they were the same medications and do the same. I just wanted to know if some people have difficulties taking warfarin vs coumadin??? Thanks.

My Hematologist said that it is not the same. Studies have shown that the INR does not fluctuate as much using Coumadin.

Please let us know. I have been on both..then I was switched to Xarelto was doing great until I was told to go back on Coumadin as my embolism is caused by own body..I inherited this from my grandfather according to blood tests..funny they recommend Coumadin, but prescribed Warfarin. Go figure I’m not sure they know.

My Hematologist was adamant that I stay on Coumadin, but I know that the pharmacy always fills my prescription with Warfarin. What is the difference between the two? I am positive for Anticoagulant Lupus.
