Warfarin and Direct-Acting Anticoagulants: A Review for Pharmacy Technicians

Review of the medications used for anticoagulation 
including warfarin, injectable anticoagulants and 
the direct acting anticoagulants (DOACs). We will 
discuss how they differ in terms of mechanism of 
action, indications and interactions. We will also 
learn about how they are monitored and how we manage 
bleeding events with the different agents. From a 
technician standpoint, we will review the relevant 
information that should be escalated to a pharmacist 
or medical provider when interacting with patients who 
are using anticoagulant therapy. 

Fall Seminar attendees will be able to:
  1. Understand the situations that could necessitate dose changes or increased monitoring in patients taking warfarin.
  2. Identify the oral and injectable anticoagulant agents used by patients in the outpatient setting.
  3. Describe “red flags” when dealing with patients taking anticoagulants that would lead you to escalate an interaction to the pharmacist or medical provider. 
Presented by Dr. Karen Knoell, PharmD, BCACP
