Thank you for providing more specific information about your question.
Do Not make that assumption and take a chance.
Coumadin is an anticoagulant and if not taken as directed can cause major or fatal bleeding.
There must be a physician who is covering while your doctor is away. Were you given this prescription as discharge orders from a hospital doctor or did your doctor give you the order for coumadin following an office visit?
Either give your primary care physician's office a call or take the syringes and written instructions to the emergency room of your local hospital and ask for help.
Lastly, maintenance doses of coumadin are prescibed in milligrams.
