Warfarin
I don’t know whether I said, but I’m on warfarin now.
It’s a complicated regime with regular blood tests, the need to be careful with certain foods and alcohol, and avoid getting cut or bruised. But it obviously works, as there wouldn’t be so many people on it.
It strikes me though that it’s a big opportunity for the pharmaceutical industry, in that if you could create a new and much better drug and regime, which was less hassle and avoided the expensive blood tests, you’d laugh all the way to the bank.
If you search the literature, things are stirring, so let’s hope.

Check the ‘net, James, because I know that you can’t have cranberry as it affects the efficiacy of the warfarin. I know Mum has to avoid other things as well, that you would think would be fine.

I don’t have a problem there as I don’t eat them or their juice.
