The coroner's concerns
1. uncontrolled bleeding due to increased INR
“There is a potential for Miconazole Gel to have an interaction with Warfarin such as to increase the blood clotting time and hence a higher INR reading than should be expected. This could lead to significant uncontrolled bleeding.”
2. lack of knowledge of drug interaction
“There is a significant lack of knowledge of the interaction among health professionals”
3. unclear or inaccessible interaction resources
“The resources available to check the interaction may not be entirely clear on this issue or readily straight forward to locate”
