Can I take 1.0mg and Sertraline together?

Why this happens

Sertraline can interfere with how your body breaks down warfarin, leading to higher levels of the blood thinner in your system. Additionally, sertraline itself can affect how your blood platelets work, which adds to the blood-thinning effect of warfarin.

You must inform your doctor if you are taking both. They will likely need to monitor your blood clotting levels (INR tests) more frequently, especially when starting, stopping, or changing the dose of sertraline. Seek immediate medical help if you notice unusual bleeding, red or black stools, or severe bruising.
