Medication options

For the past 9 months I have been taking Coumadin from the UK because I cannot tolerate the US brands do to the fillers. I no longer can get it. Prof Hughes wanted me on Coumadin because he said the newer medications are not therapeutic. Is there a long acting Warfarin? Or any other options. Designer16

I do not think there is a “long acting” coumadin. Question though why can they not give you a prescription for “brand only” coumadin checking off “no substitution” I then believe it would not have the fillers... call your pharmacy to find out, Best of luck, let us know what they tell you, Cindy
