Abstract
Warfarin is one of the most commonly used oral anticoagulants, Many me dications have been shown to influence the prothrombin time in patient s treated with warfarin by various mechanisms, We observed a major ble eding episode that resulted from a probable interaction between levami sole (Ergamisol), 5-fluorouracil, and warfarin, It is conceivable that many patients who are predisposed to thromboembolism because of cance r and surgery will be taking this combination of medications.
