My grandfather was prescribed this medication (Coumadin) to assist in blood thinning due to a heart and thyroid condition. His primary doctor was aware that he was on an aspirin regiment and still prescribed this medicine, it caused his blood to thin out to much and he ended up internally bleeding to death. If you are going to take this medicine please ask your doctors about possible side effect...
