J Assoc Physicians India. 2020 Mar;68(3):85-86.

Abstract

Warfarin is known to interact with many drugs and can lead to serious consequences. We report a case of 52 years old female patient from Himachal Pradesh. During hospital stay patient developed coagulopathy in form of INR above 10 and bradycardia with ventricular rate on ECG with digoxin level of 3.76 ng/ml. In this way digoxin toxicity was confirmed and it was considered as cause of coagulopathy after ruling out interactions of warfarin.
