"I have an artificial mitral heart valve since 2010, resulting in a lifetime of blood thinner therapy for me. The first year was a rollercoaster ride with INR/ProTime while taking generic warfarin/Coumadin. A switch to Jantoven stabilized my INR results dramatically. I have remained on Jantoven all this time. I am quite thankful for this medication. Only the past couple of years has my insurance been covering this medication, and I am so grateful! I soon will be retired and am not sure how Medicare will handle costs of the medication. Being on SS alone, the cost could possibly be prohibitive."

"I have a mechanical aortic valve and have been prescribed warfarin sodium to control clotting. I have used warfarin sodium for over 20 years but was given Jantoven recently as a substitute, but it caused my INR to be difficult to stabilize. Why is Jantoven different from warfarin sodium?"
