@ann78 hello. Warfarin is the generic name for Coumadin, they are the same. It might help to label the medication for whoever handles his medications. Thera are other accessories that serve for that very purpose you can buy. Take care

Full disclosure, I don't know anything about Coumadin, Warfarin, an artificial valve, or any of that has to do with your husband’s "count." But was interested in your comment. I recommend that you go to “mayoclinic.org” and on the home page, you can “search” various medicines and their side effects and ask questions about most medicines. I frequently search for side effects of any medicine I take, or the doctor wants to prescribe. There appears to be a lot of information of interest to you about Coumadin or Warfarin on the Mayo Clinic website.

What do your husband's doctor and pharmacist have to say about his "count" being off. Did they have suggestions? And, if you don't mind me asking, how old is he? Surely, without risking his health, someone who is a health care professional can suggest what to try to get his "counts" where they should be.

The reason I ask is because a while back, I tried to change doctors. When I asked the new potential doctors questions, they basically told me that I had the problem because I was old. Some people might feel a bit intimidated and accept that answer but that was not acceptable to me. Other doctors prescribed medicine with horrible side effects, which I refused. Thankfully I was able to go back to my old doctor!

Bless your heart, his health must be all consuming but a blessing at the same time! And thank the Lord that he has you!

I wish you and your husband the very best!
