Switching without a doctor's advice can be troublesome
Warf is time tested but needs blood monitoring by inr
While using these meds one needs to be vigilant regarding black stools or bleeding gums
Also need to tell this before any invasive procedure even an intramuscular injection
To avoid bleeding problem regular follow up with a doctor only can help

Both warfarin and dabigatran (pradaxa) are equally efficacious in CSVT.
Only convenience with pradaxa is it doesn't need regular INR monitoring as compared to warfarin.
No tests available to predict bleed with pradaxa
