If you get scratched or get a small cut, clean the cut with antiseptic and cover it with an adhesive bandage or pad. It's a good idea to apply pressure to try and help the bleeding stop. Most small cuts should stop bleeding in about 10-20 minutes. If the bleeding hasn't stopped, or slowed, in this time, seek medical advice.

If you sustain a bigger cut or injury, cover with a clean pad and apply pressure to help slow the bleeding (this may be in the form of a compression bandage or you may wish to apply the pressure using your hands). Remember that taking warfarin means you'll bleed more and for longer than you're expecting. Larger cuts require medical assistance to stop the bleeding.  Go to your doctor or a nearby hospital or medical centre.

If you fall, or take a hard knock, you may be bleeding on the inside and not see any blood. It is important to go to the doctor and get checked out. If you fall and hit your head this is especially important in case you are bleeding under your skull.
