Do you take an anti-coagulant?

5 Replies

If you take an anticoagulant, you should participate in this study.

This survey should no take longer than five minutes to complete.

We have heard from many patients who have had their medication changed without understanding the reason.

This survey is to help us better understand how we can improve our services like our Helpline and educational literature.

I answered the survey and one thought occurred to me regarding generic medication.

Normally, I am quite happy with generic medication but I have found differences between brands of, for example, Flecainide - presumably because of additives etc. Once a particular brand suits me for heart medication, I prefer to stick with it and not rock the boat with a generic or another brand.

Hi Katrina.

Done.

Finvola - Personally I have found no difference in generic meds. I agree with you though - if you find the right brand brand stick with it.

Better the devil you know!

I’m willing to try things - my asthma inhaler was changed with no consultation but I’m happy with the change - but I wouldn’t like to be forced to change if there’s a good reason I prefer my original medication.
