Warfarin Tablet Colors - Strengths Mnemonic

Did you know that the tablets are color-coded? Here’s a mnemonic to remember the 9 different tablet strengths. —

PLEASE Pink 
LET Lavendar 
GRANNY Green 
BROWN Brown 
BRING Blue 
PEACHES Peach 
TO Teal 
YOUR Yellow 
WEDDING White


Why is this important? It’s an important counseling point and a good way to make sure patients are receiving the correct strength. With other medications, when a different manufacturer is dispensed, the tablets look different and patients are told that they look different but it’s the same medication. It’s important for patients to know that this will not be the case with warfarin - it will always be the same color, and if it’s not, it’s a different strength.
