Most doctors want patients on Coumadin to come in at least once a month for a pro-time, which tests the blood's clotting ability. I thought she had better sense than that. She had to have a Vitamin K infusion, too. As it was, she had to have three pints of blood in the ER. Her GI doctor had a talk with her about mixing medication and how she could have gotten herself into real trouble. It relieved the pain, but she started bleeding internally because the two meds together thinned her blood too much. My sister ended up in the hospital with internal bleeding because she was taking ibuprofen for her arthritis, and decided it wasn't working well enough, so she took aspirin, too.
