Abstract
Days since initiation of a drug, which has potential drug-drug interaction with warfarin, is an important factor to account for in determining anticipated clinical effect, timing of monitoring, and potential dose adjustments. It is important to understand how to assess approaches to warfarin management in the presence of pharmacokinetic interactions such as pre-emptive dose adjustments and “watch and wait” with additional monitoring.
