Lenght of time you may go off of Coumadin
by Robert P., Sep 29, 1999 12:00AM
I'am taking Coumadin because of a mechanical Aortic Valve. I'am due for gum surgery in several weeks. My dentist wants me to stop taking the Coumadin 5 days prior to surgery. Is this to long? I read an artical about a man stopping Coumadin for 7 days and had a stroke. Your answer will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.
