- Adjunctive therapy of thromboembolism: Initially. Adjust dosage to prolong PT to twice normal value, or INR to be between 2-3. Overlap therapy with heparin.
- Cardiogenic arterial thromboembolism: Heparin (150-250 Units/kg SC q8h) should be administered concurrently during the first 4-6 days. Target PT range is 1.3-1.6 times baseline, or INR 2.0-3.0.

개요
와파린은 쿠마린계 항응고제로, 주로 고양이, 개, 말의 혈전성 질환의 장기 치료 및 예방에 사용됩니다. 치료 지수가 좁고 치명적인 출혈 위험이 있으며 빈번하고 비용이 많이 드는 응고 모니터링이 필요하기 때문에 수의학에서의 사용은 다소 논란이 있으며, 다른 항응고제를 사용할 수 없는 특정 경우에 주로 사용됩니다.
작용 기전
Warfarin acts as an indirect anticoagulant by antagonizing Vitamin K.
- It competitively inhibits the enzyme Vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1).
- This inhibition prevents the conversion of inactive Vitamin K epoxide back into its active form (Vitamin K hydroquinone).
- Active Vitamin K is an essential cofactor for the γ-carboxylation (activation) of coagulation factors II, VII, IX, and X, as well as the endogenous anticoagulant proteins C and S.
- Pathway: VKORC1 inhibition → Depletion of active Vitamin K → Production of inactive, undercarboxylated clotting factors (PIVKA) → Prolonged clotting times and anticoagulation.

주의
Strict Monitoring Required: Warfarin has a narrow therapeutic index. Frequent monitoring of coagulation status (PT/INR) is mandatory to prevent fatal hemorrhage.
- Teratogenicity: Warfarin is embryotoxic and causes congenital malformations. It is strictly contraindicated in pregnancy. Low-dose heparin is preferred if anticoagulation is required during pregnancy.
- Nursing: Use with caution in nursing patients; prolonged prothrombin times have been reported in some breast-fed human infants.
- Dietary Changes: Sudden changes in diet (especially foods high in Vitamin K) can alter the efficacy of warfarin.
- Laboratory Interference: May cause falsely decreased theophylline values if using the Schack and Waxler ultraviolet method.
약물 상호작용
May increase anticoagulant response (via protein displacement or platelet inhibition); increases bleeding risk.
May increase anticoagulant response (often via inhibition of hepatic metabolism).
May increase anticoagulant response.
May increase anticoagulant response.
May increase anticoagulant response.
Increases anticoagulant response; often used concurrently during the initial overlap phase but requires careful monitoring.
May decrease anticoagulant response (via induction of hepatic metabolizing enzymes).
May decrease anticoagulant response.
Directly antagonizes warfarin, decreasing its anticoagulant response (used as an antidote for overdose).
모니터링
- Prothrombin Time (PT) - Target usually 1.25 to 1.5x (or up to 2x) normal depending on protocol
- International Normalized Ratio (INR) - Target usually 2.0 to 3.0 (Note: not fully validated for veterinary patients)
- PIVKA (Proteins Induced by Vitamin K Antagonists) - May be more sensitive than PT
- Platelet counts and hematocrit (PCV)
- Occult blood in stool and urine
- Physical observations for bleeding (mucous membranes, bruising, epistaxis)
- Clinical efficacy (resolution/prevention of thromboembolism)
약동학
반감기
흡수
Rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration in humans and cats.
분포
Highly bound to plasma proteins (approximately 99% in humans, >96% in cats). Wide species variation exists; horses have a higher free (unbound) fraction than rats, sheep, or swine. Only the free fraction is active. Does not enter milk in humans.
대사
Principally metabolized in the liver to inactive metabolites.
배설
Metabolites are excreted in urine and bile (then reabsorbed and excreted in the urine).
과다투여
Acute overdosages of warfarin may result in life-threatening hemorrhage.
- Toxic Doses: In dogs and cats, single doses of 5-50 mg/kg have been associated with toxicity. Cumulative toxic doses are reported as 1-5 mg/kg for 5-15 days in dogs, and 1 mg/kg for 7 days in cats.
- Lag Time: A lag time of 2-5 days may occur before clinical signs of toxicity manifest. Animals must be monitored closely during this period.
- Treatment: If detected early, prevent absorption from the gut using standard decontamination protocols (emesis, activated charcoal). If clinical signs of bleeding are noted, treat with blood products (plasma/whole blood to replace active clotting factors) and Vitamin K1 (phytonadione).
