A 61‐year‐old women receiving warfarin after mitral valve replacement experienced extensive ecchymoses after starting tramadol therapy. Laboratory values revealed critical elevations of prothrombin time and international normalized ratio. The patient's coagulation values returned to acceptable levels after discontinuing tramadol and temporarily stopping warfarin. The mechanism for this interaction is unknown. Practitioners should be aware of the possibility of such a interaction and exercise caution when tramadol is prescribed for a patient receiving warfarin. |
