Abstract
There are no clear recommendations for prescribing antibiotics to patients taking warfarin. The risks of enhancing the anticoagulant properties of warfarin when it is taken concurrently with an antibiotic are seldom discussed. This article attempts to address this problem and to alert dentists to the risks of prescribing antibiotics to patients taking warfarin. A regimen is recommended for patients taking warfarin who require antibiotic dental treatment.Entities:
