Introduction: Hyperthyroidism is known to increase catabolism of vitamin-K-dependent clotting factors (II, VII, IX, X) and increase the response of vitamin K antagonists, usually warfarin. (bvsalud.org)
Anticoagulant7
Long-acting anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning: an evidence-based consensus guideline for out-of-hospital management. (medscape.com)
Warfarin is the most common oral anticoagulant in current use. (medscape.com)
Since warfarin does not affect the activity of previously synthesized and circulating coagulation factors, depletion of these mature factors through normal catabolism must occur before the anticoagulant effects of warfarin are observed. (medscape.com)
Because warfarin also reduces the activity of anticoagulant proteins C and S, a transient hypercoagulable state may occur shortly after treatment with warfarin is started. (medscape.com)
The duration of anticoagulant effect after a single dose of warfarin is usually 5-7 days. (medscape.com)
By inhibiting synthesis of vitamin K , a related compound is used as the prescription drug warfarin - an anticoagulant - to inhibit formation of blood clots , deep vein thrombosis , and pulmonary embolism . (cloudfront.net)

Hogs9
In 2011, Miller authored legislation (dubbed the "Pork Chopper Bill") that allowed licensed hunters to contract with landowners to shoot feral hogs and coyotes on their property via helicopter. (wikipedia.org)
The problem is that his plan is insanely stupid: poison the hogs with warfarin. (newstalk1290.com)
Poisoned hogs will certainly cross-contaminate other properties beyond the ones where the feeders filled with poison will exist. (newstalk1290.com)
What's more, it will take at least 24 hours of this poison coursing through the hogs system before the tell-tale blue color will appear in the hog's fat layers, indicating it has eaten this poison. (newstalk1290.com)
What if you kill one of these hogs shortly after they consume the warfarin, then process it and feed it to your family? (newstalk1290.com)
Sellmark and Texas Hog Hunters Association believe in hunting, trapping and aerial management to protect landowners from the millions of dollars of damage hogs cause each year, but discourage the inhumane and unsafe use of poisons. (sellmark.com)
While Warfarin may kill hogs, it may also put other wildlife, humans and the entire ecosystem in harm's way. (sellmark.com)
For Texas to introduce a poison into the equation is a bad decision and could likely contaminate humans who unknowingly process and eat feral hogs," said Texas Hog Hunters Association founder Scott Dover. (sellmark.com)

Additionally, although warfarin is no longer used primarily as a rodenticide, several long-acting coumarin derivatives (the so-called superwarfarin anticoagulants, such as brodifacoum, diphenadione, chlorophacinone, and bromadiolone) are used for this purpose and can produce profound and prolonged anticoagulation.
