When to resume taking Warfarin

[gizmomaven]

I am due to have a minor surgical procedure under a local anaesthetic and have stopped my Warfarin for 5 days.

When can I start retaking my medication

Hi there.

Firstly, we are not medically trained on here and, unfortunately we, cannot provide you with the advice that you are asking for. You must discuss this with your medical team.

Secondly, having looked through your previous posts, on the forum, I cannot see mention of whether you have a diagnosis of APS/Hughes Syndrome. Could you please confirm that.

Regards

Please direct this question to your medical consultant and confirm whether you have a diagnosis of Hughes Syndrome/APS.
