Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
UV B treatment for skin can be taken while taking the warfarin treatment. You only need to keep on regularly monitoring the coagulation profile as minor dose adjustments might be needed in the initial days. Also inform your dermatologist about treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
