Not to be an alarmist but it is very important to check your prescription, if you take this medicine.

Warfarin 2 mg Tablets by Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA Inc.: Recall - Due to Oversized Tablets
[Posted 06/12/2013]
AUDIENCE: Pharmacy, Patient, Health Professional
ISSUE: Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. is voluntarily recalling one lot of Warfarin 2 mg Tablets, Lot #MM5767, expiration date June 2014 to the retail level. Four tablets of Warfarin 2 mg Tablets, Lot MM5767, have been found to be oversized in one product complaint.
Ingestion of a greater than intended dose of Warfarin, could lead to an increased pharmacological effect of warfarin. As a result, patients would be more likely to develop bleeding as an adverse reaction and in some patients that bleeding into a critical organ (mostly the central nervous system) could be fatal. The risk of bleeding is increased if overdosing is repeated continuously on a daily basis.
