Coumadin
Education Class
There
is so much to know about Coumadin! Did you know that
there are over 200 medications that can interact with
Coumadin? Plus, you need special information on how
your herbal supplements, diet and state of health can
affect your Coumadin blood level.
To
make sure that you know all you need to know, when you
enroll in the Anticoagulation Clinic you will be scheduled
for an information session. Other patients who are taking
Coumadin will also be attending, so it is a great opportunity
to hear other's questions and get your own questions
answered.
There
will be a slide presentation followed by a question
and answer period. The session will last approximately
one hour. Refreshments will be provided.
After
your provider makes a referral for you to attend the
Anticoagulation Clinic, a receptionist will telephone
you to schedule your information session. You will also
need a separate appointment to have your blood tested.
The blood test appointment will only take 15-20 minutes.
The
Coumadin information sessions are held in our Thunderbird
Clinic, Suite 201 on the first Thursday of the month from 1:00pm to 2:00pm; and, alternatively on the 3rd Thursday
of each month at our Sun City West Clinic, 3rd floor conference room, from 2:00pm to 3:00pm.
The telephone
number for the Anticoagulation Clinic is 623-876-3890.
Parking
is available in front of both clinics. There
is also an elevator available to take you to the second
floor. Watch for signs to direct you to Suite 201.
