INTRODUCTION: Cytochrome P450 (CYP) plays a key role in the metabolism of coumarin anticoagulants and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Because CYP2C9 is a genetically polymorphic enzyme, genetic variability could play an important role in the potential interaction between NSAIDs and coumarins. We investigated whether NSAIDs were associated with overanticoagulation during therapy with coumarins and...
