Warfarin, a commonly prescribed anticoagulant, has over 250 known drug interactions that can significantly impact its therapeutic efficacy and safety. These interactions can occur with various medications, dietary supplements, and food items, with approximately 120 drugs or foods interacting with warfarin. The concurrent use of potentially interacting drugs during warfarin therapy is a common practice, with about half of patients receiving warfarin being prescribed concomitant drugs with high potential for interactions. These interactions can interfere with the maintenance of the International Normalized Ratio (INR) within the therapeutic range, leading to an increased risk of bleeding events. Studies have shown that the risk of serious bleeding in patients treated with warfarin is significantly higher when they are using potentially interacting drugs, compared to those on warfarin alone. The influence of drug-drug interactions on the risk of cerebral hemorrhage induced by warfarin has also been investigated. In conclusion, warfarin drug interactions are of great clinical importance, as a large number of patients who take concomitant medications that can increase the INR or the risk of bleeding are at risk.
