lovenox effect on inr

Thank for answer my question. I was on Lovenox for 6 months last year when I was bad with the INR. In 4 years NOBODY is been taking to me about the consecuences of the low inr and I'm the one who have to call the doctor for my result when i go to the lab.

I am on Cardizem sr 120mg once a day and 5 mg warfin and of course lovenox for the 10days..I will be checking inr on Monday and adjust if needed!! I was wondering if you are having same side effects from ablation??? Do they do a third ablation???hahaha I hope I would not need???

I was prescribed Lovenox post ablation also Coumadin. After 8 days on Lovenox I was told to stop using it as my INR was 3.8. My Lovenox prescription was for 12 days.Now just on Coumadin 5mg daily and INR has come down to 3. If you cannot tolerate Coumadin you may be "stuck" with Lovenox because of it's ability as an anticoagulant.

Did he receive Lovenox injections (while in the hospital) in his stomach? Did they put him on blood thinners? How big are the bruises?

i give birth 6 weeks ago i had blood clots in my lungs they gave me lovenox inj? the medicaid was covering it, but now after my pregnancy ended they stoped the medicaid and i cannot afford seeing the dr or the inj. i still got 5000mg heparin but i dont use because after my pregnancy ended they swithed me to lovenox i now take only asprin 325mg am i at risk what can do about it !!

Taking coumadin and having your INR checked by a Hematologist is a must ..They understand the clotting disorder and know exactly how to keep your INR on the right track. Learn what you can and cannot eat. I've lived with this since 2005 and never had any serious problems ...You will be fine!!

I was given Lovenox and cumiden for a leg blood clot for six days. After the sixth day I was told to no longer take any of the medications. I experienced headaches. I went to the hospital for blood work and a cat scan. All turned up well. My blood reading was INR 1.83 and pro time 21.7. I am now experiencing lack of energy, slight fever. What can I do? I am taking 2 mg of cumiden at this time (as of yesterday).

I have had to take Lovenox injections and coumadin to try to get it high enough. One time, due to some meds I was on, my INR was over 10 so I had to take a vitamin k pill which made it too low. I strictly go by the guidelines for taking coumadin but I really believe my metabolism causes a lot of my problems. My mom is in a nursing home and has the same problem. She had a St. Jude valve in 1991. A month ago I was diagonsed with an ascending thoracic aorta aneurysm...4.7 c.m.

One small study found that 3 g/day or 6 g/day of fish oil did not affect INR values in 10 patients on warfarin over a 4-week period (161). However, a recent case report described an individual who required a reduction of her warfarin dose when she doubled her fish oil dose from 1 g/day to 2 g/day (162).

Some surgeons request that a patient not be on plavix or warfarin at the time of surgery in order to minimize the risk of bleeding. Traditionally, the effects of plavix on platelets is minimal after 5 days. Usually, blood clots normally about three days after taking warfarin. This is quite variable and can be confirmed by a blood test (either checking INR or prothrombin time), prior to surgery.

I went to the er again, they kept me overnight and said they could feel something going on which was a sign of a clot. I was given a shot of lovenox as my inr had gone down and then in the morning ultrasound was done. That was negative but I'm sure I had something going on in that leg too. When I discussed it all with my hematologist later(he was the one to tell me to go to the er with my symptoms) he said he thought all the clots were there originally from my first hospitalization for dka.

After 5 days on heparin/erixtra he stayed only on Cumadin, though at a high INR, and developed symptoms from a larger clot, now on the julgular vein. he was moved back to heparin and then to lovenox. Then it was noticed that some of his lymph nodes were a bit enlarged around neck and lungs (1.8 cm the largest). They did several ct scans, pet scans, mri, and 3 biopsies to try to diagnose. 2 of them, a core and a surgery, werent able to get tissue from the lymph nodes.

I'm a 53.5 yr old (54 in Dec.) female with Type II Diab. since April of 2004, Severe Fybromyalgia since 5-12-02 with CFS, Degenerative Arthritis & Had the ADOC fusion with a Titanium Spacer done 10-19-07 for the herniated disks 5-6, 6-7 & 2 shoulder surgeries this year on 4-11-08 & 8-8-08-total of 6 surgeries since 2-9-07. Big history of Angina, hypertension & Heart disease-Dad's family, bad Osteoarthritis.

I am taking lovenox too but I don't notice being tired from it. Actually I've been on it several times and never felt that way. Congrats on your pregnancy.

PT-INR (the PR-INR was a mistype on my part) is a blood clotting test a lab does to determine how long it would take for you blood to clot. I wam really wanting to talk to some who has both Diabetes and Factor V Lieden (a blood clotting disorder). I did realize that the respondants on this site are not health care providers, I was just hoping to find some one with my same problems or find where I might go to find them.

The INR will not stay regulated and I have been on Lovenox injections numberous times. Therefore, I am seriously considering having a tssue valve instead of a mechanical valve this time. I know there is a chance of having to have a "redo" for the tissue valve so really worrying about that situation. Hopefully by the time to redo the tissue valve another option will be available for surgery.

Im a 27 year old male. I was diagnosed with a DVT in my right leg on Jan 8th 2013. Currently Im on Coumadin. 10mg a day everyday. My INR was last checked two days ago and is 2.3. The ER drew some blood when I initially went in with DVT symptoms and I was told a week later that I have Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome and that's what supposedly caused my clot. How exactly will my body dissolve the clot if I have APS (antiphospholipid antibody syndrome)? With APS I am more prone to clot.

The second time I got pregnant, I was already on baby aspirin and I was suppose to start Lovenox shots once a heartbeat was detected. Well I started spotting the day of my 6 week appointment, and was cramping by the time I got to the doctor. They did see a heartbeat, and I picked up the lovenox on the way home, but never got to start it, as I miscarried naturally that night.

I'm posting this comment in reply to the question regarding headaches/Coumadin. It is listed as a side effect you should report to your doctor. I have suffered with migraines for years. I take anti seizure medication & had greatly reduced them to just 2 a month from almost daily. After knee surgery in late March 2013, I developed DVT and was put on heparin & then warfarin. I am monitored & kept in INR range of 2-3.

Im 18 weeks, my dr just called this morning saying my bloodwork has shown I should be on lovenox shots once a day. I do not want to be on these shots and have my baby have some wierd side effect because of them. Im pretty holistic and am already on an low dose asprin (which I dont like taking) a day and they still want me to do this. Ive done lots of research but still im torn between following my intuition and following drs orders.

Coumadin acts by inhibiting vitamin K and the clotting mechanism. So, stopping aspirin might not have an effect on the INR. But combined both the medications have an effect on bleeding. So, please contact your concerned physician at the earliest. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

The normal range for INR is usually 0.9-1.2. Your INR is probably within normal value. Check your labs normal range. All blood values very all the time. It is all a matter of how sensitive the test is. What else has changed? Bilirubin, Creatinine, Platelet count? INR measures how long it takes for blood to clot. It is commonly higher in patients with advanced liver disease (cirrhosis) because the liver makes coagulation factors, proteins that help the blood to clot.

Would the "marker" used during a CT scan of the lungs have any effect on an INR blood draw monitoring Coumadin dosage?? I'm not sure if the usual "marker" was used or if the more expensive "marker" was used. Started at 5 mg for 3 days and INR came in at 1.3 Monday. So was kept at 5 mg the rest of the week except 10 mg on Monday and Wednesday. 2nd Monday's draw was 3.3 so skipped that night and 5 mg the rest of the week.

Regular monitoring of INR should be performed on all treated patients. Those at high risk of bleeding may benefit from more frequent INR monitoring, careful dose adjustment to desired INR, and a shorter duration of therapy.

Thanks for all your well wishes, guys - I got out on Monday, and I've been taking it as easy as possible since. Back at work today. They checked my INR this morning, and found that I was at therapeutic levels. With the injection I took this morning, I will probably be a bit too high tomorrow - so they're reducing my Coumadin temporarily. But the good news is now I can stop the Lovenox. Oh, and I lost 6 pounds.

This is my greatest worry that he will develop anothe blood clot, although he is on blood thinner for 8 month now but his PT-INR lever has never been the same.
