Beyond warfarin, which other medication this patient…
Pharmacology questions in the ADC written exam test applied prescribing decisions, not rote recall of drug names. This exam-level vignette tests your ability to work through clinical details and arrive at the correct management.
Mrs. Li Wei, a 78-year-old woman, presents with a fractured upper left canine that requires extraction. Her medical history includes atrial fibrillation managed with warfarin, and she takes fluoxetine 20 mg daily for depression. She lives alone and mentions she has been taking Panadol Extra (paracetamol 500 mg + caffeine 65 mg) from the chemist for the pain, two tablets four times daily. Her INR from this morning is 4.1. Beyond warfarin, which other medication this patient takes also increases her bleeding risk during dental procedures?
- A. Caffeine from the Panadol Extra
- B. Fluoxetine, as SSRIs impair platelet function
- C. None of her other medications affect bleeding risk; warfarin is the sole concern
- D. Paracetamol at the dose she is taking
- E. Fluoxetine, as it interacts with warfarin to increase the INR above the therapeutic range

According to TG, SSRIs (including fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline) are among the medications that impair platelet function beyond antithrombotics. The combination of warfarin (anticoagulant) + fluoxetine (impaired platelet function) creates additive bleeding risk that must be considered in procedural planning.
