INR is ——. Current INR is high. Reduce WARFARIN dose and/or monitor closely.<tr>

<td align=left>Warfarin interaction with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, amoxicillin/clavulanate</td>

<td> WARNING—BLEEDING RISK -- This drug can interact profoundly with WARFARIN. Consider an alternative antibiotic or monitor very closely. Repeat the INR in 3 days and consider reducing warfarin dose.<tr>

<td> WARNING—BLEEDING RISK -- This drug interacts with WARFARIN. Repeat the INR in 3 days. Consider reducing warfarin dose.<tr>

<td align=left>Warfarin-antiplatelet drug or NSAID interaction</td>

<td> WARNING—BLEEDING RISK -- The use of WARFARIN with NSAIDs and/or ANTIPLATELET AGENTS increases bleeding risk. Reevaluate need for concomitant therapy.<tr>

<td> WARNING—RENAL INSUFFICIENCY RISK -- Current BUN=——, Creatinine=——. Worsening renal insufficiency can result from ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (e.g., losartan), diuretics, and NSAIDs. Evaluate medication regimen and monitor BUN and CREATININE closely. <tr>

<td align=left>Any drug therapy that can increase potassium level (ACE inhibitors, potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, NSAIDs)</td>

<td> WARNING—HYPERKALEMIA RISK -- Most recent POTASSIUM is —. HYPERKALEMIA can result from therapy with any of the following: ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (e.g., losartan), potassium-sparing diuretics, NSAIDs, and mineralocorticoids. Reevaluate medication regimen and monitor POTASSIUM level closely.<tr>

<td align=left>Any new prescription for thiazide or loop diuretic therapy</td>

<td> WARNING—HYPOKALEMIA RISK -- Hypokalemia can result from use of thiazide and loop diuretics. Check POTASSIUM level in 7–10 days and continue monitoring. <tr>

+
<td align=left>Anticholinergic medications (e.g., nortriptyline)</td>
+
<td>WARNING—RISK OF ANTICHOLINERGIC EFFECTS -- This drug poses a high risk of dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, and delirium. Use the lowest feasible dose. Monitor closely for these effects. <tr>
