Yes, I already had this piece of knowledge. What many people realize is that warfarin is the main ingredient in the very popular Coumadin blood thinner.

Absolutely, you may wish to walk to the pest control section next time to verify that when you visit a supermarket!

Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm currently on coumadin for at least 6 months due to having a pulmonary embolism in April.
