Effect of Quinolones Versus Cefixime on International Normalized Ratio Levels After Valve Replacement Surgery with Warfarin Therapy.

Conclusion: Results showed that, after adding levofloxacin and moxifloxacin in patients on warfarin, therapy contributed to remarkable increase in INR. However, addition of cefixime prevented frequent coagulopathies; therefore, close monitoring of INR and switching to a safe antibiotic such as cefixime is recommended.
