Q: What are the side effects or problems with long term usage of coumadin?
A: Coumadin is a blood thinner. As a result, minor injuries can result in more serious bleeding than would be expected. Most people on Coumadin find they bruise much more easily. Also many common non-prescription drugs and foods interact with Coumadin. Your doctor should give you a list of drugs and foods to avoid. For more information about Coumadin interactions click here.

She didn’t answer the question. it was what are the long term affects of use of coumadin.
Perhaps it’s not clear in the answer that the primary risk with long term use is bleeding. As corroborated by the Mayo Clinic, “There’s a risk of serious or even fatal bleeding — especially when warfarin is taken in high doses or for long periods of time.” See http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/warfarin/HQ01614 for more information.
Take Kyolic garlic and Fish oil instead, does the same thing as Coumadin without killing you.
Thank You! I have been searching for an answer for two months concerning a healthy way to thin my blood instead of comaden. Thank YOU, Thank You, Thank You. I had already began to cook with garlic and planned on taking garlic twice a day in capsules. I already take fish oil in liquid form of cod liver oil. Now I can be happy and find a natural substance for my heart pills and blood pressure.
