The police arrive at the accident scene promptly. A driver has
run his automobile into a guardrail while exiting a highway. The
driver does not seem to be injured but is somewhat incoherent
and is slipping in and out of consciousness. Did he strike his
head? Is he inebriated? Is he on drugs? A quick review of the
driver’s attire reveals a medical alert bracelet that identifies
him as a Coumadin user. This is crucial information for those
responding to the incident.
Coumadin (the brand name for Warfarin) is a medication that has
offered protection from strokes,cheap Armani Sunglasses, heart attacks,discount Gucci sunglasses, pulmonary
embolisms other conditions resulting from blood clots. Coumadin
is an anti-coagulant, or blood thinner, that helps to prevent
the formation of blood clots. Those with certain heart
conditions or who are subject to irregular blood clotting can
benefit significantly from Coumadin. That’s the good news. The
bad news is that Coumadin is a medication that must be carefully
monitored to insure the correct balance in the user’s system to
avoid serious complications.
Coumadin dosage is a very precise science and is determined by
the specific condition being treated, certain characteristics of
the person with the condition and the rate of clotting as
determined by regular testing. In order to achieve the proper
levels of Coumadin it may be necessary to take different doses
each day. This requires that the user be very aware of the
schedule and keep good records of dosage requirements and
testing schedules.
Warfarin (generic Coumadin) was actually used as rat poison.
Large doses of the compound caused rodents to hemorrhage
internally and die. While the doses for humans are relatively
miniscule,louis vuitton eyewear, the dangers of excess bleeding are still a concern.
The delicate balance of Coumadin in the system is the reason
that many users will wear some form of medical alert
identification. In the event of an emergency or an accident,
attendants can readily identify a Coumadin user and attempt to
discern whether to avoid certain other medications that may
interact adversely with Coumadin. Emergency personnel can also
determine if Coumadin may be the culprit.
There are many medical conditions and medications that can cause
a situation or a reaction whereby a person cannot communicate.
Conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, food allergies and the
use of medications like Coumadin can be easily and readily
identified by wearing medical alert jewelry with the proper
information engraved or stored. A small problem can become a
large problem if someone takes the wrong course of action, or no
action, based on a lack of information. A small, attractive,
fashionable piece of jewelry can help you look sharp…and save
your life.
