Bleeding in the brain from Coumadin

[Guest guest]

9/29/2008 12:00:00 AM MONDAY, Sept. 29 (HealthDay News) -- The amount of

bleeding in the brain that occurs when a blood vessel bursts and causes a stroke

is greater for some people who take the clot-preventing drug warfarin

(Coumadin), a new study shows.

Lottie,

Thank you for posting this information and link!

I can vouch for this happening as my dad (82) just had a hemmoragic

stroke caused by Coumadin. He was lucky to be near UCSF and was

immediately rushed to their stroke center and promptly treated. Last

Friday he was moved to an acute rehabilitation center where he will

learn to walk and use his arm again.

Thanks, again, Lottie.
