Warfarin is the name brand and more expensive. Coumadin is the generic
and much cheaper if you are paying out of pocket. Also most HMO's only
pay for the generic. Both seem to work OK.

They gave me Warfarin, which is a coumadin derivative.



Uh... I think you that backwards. Coumadin is the name brand for generic
Warfarin. It is NOT a derivitive... it is exactly the same thing. Some people
have noted the active ingedient is rat poison. G
