What Causes Frequent Bowels While On Warfarin?

I am a 78 yo white male, two stents in the widow maker for 4 years now, recently started taking warfarin, concerned about bowel movements. Will have a normal one then maybe within the next two to three hours have a very loose bm. Seeing my primary physician next week but wonder if it is the warfarin that may be causing this.???

Hello,

I don't think this is related to warfarin. There are other causes of diarrhea. Just do a full blood check up to see if there are other problems.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
