I would like to go home soon." The nurse responds: A) "It usually takes 2 to 3 days for warfarin to become therapeutic, meaning your blood will be thin enough to prevent further clot formation." B) "I don't really know. Right now you are on two blood thinners, so we won't be able to tell if it's working until the doctor discontinues your heparin drip." C) "That's a good question. If warfarin has a long half-life, it could take many days. I will have to ask the pharmacist this question."
