The most commonly reported side effect of<unk>  is gastrointestinal upset. When compared with people anticoagulated with warfarin, patients taking<unk>  had fewer life-threatening bleeds, fewer minor and major bleeds, including intracranial bleeds, but the rate of gastrointestinal bleeding was significantly higher.<unk>  capsules contain tartaric acid, which lowers the gastric pH and is required for adequate absorption. The lower pH has previously been associated with dyspepsia; some hypothesize that this plays a role in the increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. A small but significantly increased risk of myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) has been noted when combining the safety outcome data from multiple trials. Reduced doses should be used in those with poor kidney function.
