Answer:
by St. Luke's Hospital pharmacist, Stephen Michaud, PharmD, BCPS
Without knowing your other medical conditions, it is difficult to recommend anything over-the-counter. Many over-the-counter medications may not interact with your Coumadin but may be dangerous to take depending on your other medical conditions. The safest thing to take would be acetaminophen (Tylenol), with a daily dose limit of 4000 mg. We would encourage you to follow-up with your personal physician for further recommendations.
