UC Davis Anticoagulation Clinic | Department of Pharmacy Services | UC Davis Health

The UC Davis Anticoagulation Clinic is designed to provide quality clinical and educational services for patients who are at risk for blood clots and taking medications such as warfarin, direct oral anticoagulants (apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran), and injectable anticoagulants such as fondaparinux and enoxaparin.

We have an interdisciplinary team consisting of pharmacists, physicians and pharmacy technicians specially trained in anticoagulation therapy. We collaborate with other health care professionals to ensure our patients receive safe and effective care while being on anticoagulation therapy. Our team is responsible for ordering and monitoring labs and ensuring you know how much of your anticoagulant medication needs to be taken each day. Our pharmacy technicians can also assist with reviewing cost options for your anticoagulant medication.

Pharmacy residents assist in providing education and monitoring for the patients in the clinic. Learn more about our pharmacy residency programs and current residents
