Overview

Orfarin 3mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Warfarin sodium 3mg. It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Orfarin 3mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Take Orfarin 3mg Tablet at the same time each day, usually in the evening, so that any dose adjustment based on a same-day INR result can be applied promptly. Swallow the tablet with water, and try to maintain a fairly consistent daily intake of vitamin K-containing foods (such as leafy green vegetables) rather than making sudden major changes to your diet.

Dosage

The dose of Orfarin 3mg Tablet is individualised for each patient and adjusted by your doctor based on regular blood tests measuring your International Normalised Ratio (INR), which reflects how quickly your blood clots. Never change your dose or stop this medicine without your doctor’s advice, as both under-treatment and over-treatment carry serious risks.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Bleeding or bruising easily
  • Nosebleeds or bleeding gums
  • Nausea or loss of appetite
  • Hair thinning
  • Purple toes syndrome (rare)
  • Fatigue
  • Abdominal cramps

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to warfarin or any ingredient in this product
  • Active or recent significant bleeding, or a high risk of bleeding
  • Pregnancy (warfarin can cause serious birth defects and fetal bleeding)
  • Severe uncontrolled hypertension or recent major surgery
  • Severe liver or kidney impairment (increases bleeding risk)

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Aspirin, NSAIDs (e.g. ibuprofen, diclofenac), and other antiplatelet medicines significantly increase the risk of bleeding
  • Many antibiotics (e.g. metronidazole, fluoroquinolones, some cephalosporins) and antifungals can increase warfarin’s effect and raise your INR
  • Sudden large changes in intake of vitamin K-rich foods (leafy greens, broccoli) can reduce warfarin’s effect and lower your INR
  • Alcohol, certain herbal supplements (e.g. ginkgo, St John’s Wort), and many other prescription medicines can interact – inform your doctor and pharmacist of everything you take

Quick Tips

  • Attend all scheduled INR blood tests so your doctor can adjust your dose safely
  • Keep your vitamin K intake (green leafy vegetables) fairly consistent week to week rather than avoiding it completely
  • Never start, stop, or change the dose of any other medicine, supplement, or herbal product without telling your doctor or pharmacist
  • Watch for and report unusual bruising, bleeding, or dark stools promptly
  • Carry an anticoagulant alert card or inform any healthcare provider, including your dentist, that you are taking warfarin before any procedure
  • Limit alcohol intake, as it can affect how your body processes warfarin
