Cordarone and warfarin must be monitored very closely taking them together. There are potential MAJOR interactions with these medications. There are other moderate and less severe potential interactions but the Cordarone/Warfarin is the worst by far. Not saying that it will be lethal but the combo can cause very serious bleeding problems for months after you stop taking them. Accidents become a threat to your life if you suffer lacerations, etc. The dr has to monitor you very closely, not saying it shouldn't be taken. I'm just saying that you should be getting very regular checkups by your dr and you need to be very careful with your activities. Don't put yourself into a compromising situation where you may not have time to get medical help if you require it. You can check these interactions at the "drug interaction checker" just under the SEARCH box at the top of this page. Hope that helps and be careful. God bless.
