A climbing friend has been on it for years after a heart attack without any problems. As you probably know by now, be careful taking any antibiotics while on warfarin because they can kill your gut flora which makes a significant amount of vitamin K (a pro-coagulation factor). Hence your INR can really shoot up and you'll bleed.
