Carbidopa/entacapone/levodopa and warfarin

Carbidopa/entacapone/levodopa's FDA label of March 19, 2026 names warfarin in its drug interactions section; the warfarin label PlainMeds reads does not name carbidopa/entacapone/levodopa. The carbidopa/entacapone/levodopa label: “Cases of increased INR in patients concomitantly using warfarin have been reported during the post-approval use of entacapone.”
