Comment:
I was put on it for a clot in my lung. NEVER did they get the dose correct, it was changed every week ! I was in a car accident, ended up with a TBI. 3 months after the accident I bled out, had to have 12 pints of blood and 2 pints of plasma. Diagnosis: undetected internal injury in the accident, coumidin kept the blood from clotting and just burst, thus my bleeding out. Would NEVER take again
