THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Anticoagulant
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
COUMADIN (warfarin sodium) and other coumarin anticoagulants act by
inhibiting the synthesis
of Vitamin K dependent clotting factors, which include Factors II,
VII, IX and X, and the
anticoagulant proteins C and S. Half-lives of these clotting factors
are as follows: Factor II - 60
hours, VII - 4-6 hours, IX - 24 hours, and X - 48-72 hours. The
half-lives of proteins C and S are
approximately 8 hours and 30 hours, respectively. The resultant
_in vivo_
effect is a sequential
depression of Factors VII, IX, X and II. Vitamin K is an essential
cofactor for the post ribosomal
synthesis of the vitamin K dependent clotting factors. The vitamin
promotes the biosynthesis of
g-carboxyglutamic acid residues in the proteins which are essential
for biological activity.
Warfarin is thought to interfere with clotting factor synthesis by
inhibition of the regeneration of
vitamin K
1
epoxide. The degree of depression is dependent upon the dosage
administered.
Therapeutic doses of warfarin decrease the total amount of the active
form of each vitamin K
dependent clotting factor made by the liver by approximately 30% to
50%.
An anticoagulation effect generally occurs within 24 hours after drug
administration. However,
peak anticoagulant effect may be delayed 72 to 96 hours. The duration
of action of a single dose of
racemic warfarin is 2 to 5 days. The effects of COUMADIN may become
more pronounced as
effects of daily maintenance doses ove
