You mean if the dr prescribes it and the pharmacist gives you the generic version? No, it's no worse than the original.
My mom is on that and it's nasty, it thins your blood and you have to watch what you eat so you don't thin it even more. Like she cannot have anything with cranberries in it or she'll be in bad shape.
Coumadin is also known as warfarin, which is also used for rat poison. You use it so when the rats eat it and die in your walls, they dry all up and don't stink.

If you have been prescribed coumadin, the generic form is as safe as the brand-name. If you have not been prescribed it, do not take any coumadin.

Well, you are aware what coumadin is, right? Rat poison.? I would hope the generic companies would tend to be strict on their quality on this product.

no..as long as it is from a legitimate pharmacy, generic is exactly the same as the name brand, just minus the "name" and the extra cost..
there is no pharmaceutical difference in its ingredients..just the physical description..
It is perfectly safe, and if you don't have the money to throw away for a name brand, I recommend it..
