Abstract: Objective To explore the possible adverse drug interactions between warfarin and compound paracetamol and amantadine hydrochloride tablets. Methods A patient who had been taking warfarin for a long time for venous sinus thrombosis was reported to have sustained extremely abnormal coagulation function after intermittent administration of compound paracetamol and amantadine hydrochloride tablets. Results The coagulation function of the patient recovered gradually after discontinuation of warfarin and supplementation of vitamin K and coagulation factors. Conclusion Compound paracetamol and amantadine hydrochloride tablets may significantly enhance the anticoagulant effect of warfarin, leading to an extremely high risk of bleeding. Clinicians should be alert to the interactions between the two drugs. Warfarin and cold medicine must be cautiously combined in clinical treatment, and bleeding and clotting function should be closely monitored.
