The interaction that occurs between warfarin and antibiotics is a pharmacokinetic interaction which cause bleeding.
This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between the use of cephalosporins and an increase in APTT and PT
in cardiovascular patients. This retrospective observational study employs case-control analysis to examine APTT and PT
features in cardiovascular patients receiving single anticoagulant or anticoagulant + cephalosporin therapy for the period JulyDecember 2020. The sampling method used in this study is a convenient sampling method that meets the inclusion and

Cephalosporins showed a significant correlation with APTT and PT, with a P-value of 0.015. From this study, it can be
