C
Gemfibrozil displaces warfarin from the plasma albumin, thereby increasing anticoagulant effects. The level of gemfibrozil will not be increased or decreased.
The anticoagulation effects will not be reduced, because free-floating drug is present in the sys-tem; the dosage of warfarin may need to be reduced.
