- Abstract
Anticoagulant therapy is a treatment used clinically since the 1950s. Currently, despite the appearance of new drugs, warfarin remains the most widely used one. The need for frequent monitoring, in addition to the interaction with drugs and foods, as well as the need to transform the everyday life of people who consume it, modify the cultural practices of these patients, and may affect aspects such as adherence. General objective: Describe the cultural practices transformed by people who are part of an anticoagulation program in warfarin therapy. Methodology: Qualitative study type micro ethnography, carried out in Bogotá, Colombia. Results: We had the participation of 10 informants who, associated with the use of warfarin, transformed cultural practices around knowledge, everyday life and emotions.
