Crushed Warfarin/Coumadin is Nasty. How do I hide the taste?



Recommended Posts

I am 2 days sleeve post op and have to start back on my regular 10 mg/day dose of Warfarin. (I have a blood clotting disorder.) So far, I've tried the crushed pill in yogurt and chocolate pudding. Both made my tongue burn and were just generally disgusting. What other liquids/foods have people tried to disguise their meds? Remember, I'm still on liquid diet and can only have yogurt, Soup and pudding for foods.

Applesauce or cinnamon applesauce is the greatest!

how large is the pill? you may be able to take it whole by now. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will just have to deal with the taste until you can take them whole. The yogurt and pudding are the best options for masking the taste but honestly, drugs tend to have a bitter taste anyway (which is part of the reason we take them in tablet or capsule form so you don't taste it) and nothing will completely take that away.

Tobasco sauce works wonders.

I am a nurse practitioner and have to ask if your doctor told you to crush Coumadin? I don't think its supposed to crushed and may affect the absorption...

I was thinking the same thing. If it absorbs too fast your INR levels will be bouncing all over.

I was going to say the same thing but I am not a medical professional so glad you said it!

From day one, I was allowed whole pills. Never gave me an issue. Only pill I had to change was my multi Vitamin because it was too big to swallow comfortably.

I crush my trazadone nightly and mix with applesauce. I hate it but any other way made me sick. I can eat it pretty fast then I go Kay down because my stomach really rumbles after that

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
