I have never taken Warfarin, but I do work in healthcare and am very familiar with coumadin (warfarin). I do check patients PT/INR levels. The only problem I had while taking Pradaxa was my gums bleeding. It was not a significant amount. I did let my EP guy know about it, and he said just one of the side effects. So I just monitored it and had to not brush my teeth so vigorously. But I ate what I wanted to, no PT/INR checks.
A person on warfarin with an inr of 1.2 is not at risk of bleeding out. They are at risk for a clot. People not on warfarin normal range of about 1 because they don't have a bleeding or clotting disorder, thus 1 is normal.
I take 10 MG a day everyday and my inr was 2.2 just today. It all depends o. The reason behind taking it.
As someone who is on warfarin, I have the same impresson of an INR of 4.8 as you do -- that it is undesirable but not greatly alarming. I have never heard that the INR is interpreted any differently for an infant than for an older person. There are some "heart mom" forums on the internet for mothers of children with congenital heart disease. I don't know where to direct you, but if you can find a forum such as that, this is a question that some of the other moms might know.
Until 2 months back I was taking 150mg Ecosprin and 5mg Warfarin daily, then I was diagnosed with Hepatitis E and my INR value increased suddenly, so my doctor cut on the warfarin for few days until it dropped to <1.5 and then I started taking my warfarin again but my INR didn't increase. 2 weeks back my doctor increased my dose from 5 to 6mg but still my INR value is 1.4 and it is not increasing from past 2 months.
Please help.
Dear Sir, Kindly advise as to what precautions my father should take for his INR fluctuation as he is daily taking WARF 5mg.
37 for placebo (10). In a study of 11 patients on stable warfarin, INR increased after 4 days of taking APAP 4 g/day increasing the risk of bleeding (7). A 72-year-old man was on acenocoumarol, chronically self-medicating with APAP 1 to 2 g/day for low back pain. His INR was stable at 2.5, but when APAP was stopped his INR dropped to 1.62. Two weeks later, he restarted APAP and the INR climbed to 2.0 over 4 weeks (5).
s body can metabolize and excrete the warfarin. That is why doctors typically give someone who is on warfarin a prescribed INR range, rather than a set dosage of warfarin, because the dose will differ from person to person.
Whatever the amount of warfarin is that you personally need -- and yes, you are your own person and not a textbook person -- for your INR to be within your prescribed range is the amount that YOU need.
I was on warfarin for 6 months and a dvt in the popliteal vein. when my inr went up due to being on anti inflammotories- I had severe neck pain and nothing else helped- my inr nurse told me to increase my vitamin k veggies and this worked well to keep it even. When it went down my dose was increased and or I was told to skip green veggies that day and take an extra dose. I went for testing nearly every week during the time I was on warfarin due to lots of fluctuations.
At the professional workshop that I attended, we were told by the presenter that the anticoagulation properties of warfarin are most likely present down to an INR of about 1.6. The reason doctors don't like their patients to go below 2.0 (or in some cases 2.5) is to provide a cushion of safety. Also, a bleeding incident attributable to warfarin would not be expected to happen at an INR of 4.0. Some people, such as those who have two mechanical heart valves, have a prescribed range of 3.
I just got back from seeing my doctor and was told that aspirin is no substitute for warfarin. The problem is in establishing a consistent INR reading of 2-3.
as soon as I can achieve that reading I will only have to go for blood test once a month.
The stroke, according to my cardiologist was caused by Afib.
I am 53 and just had my 2nd open heart surgery 2 months ago. 3 years ago a bovine aortic valve was put in and there was major scarring that occured. So in December they replaced it with a mechanical valve. I'm now on Warfarin 7.5 and have been maintaining an INR of 2.5-2.8. Last week I had a severe stomach virus and became very dehydrated. I went in for my draw yesterday and recieved a call last night from my cardiologist.
Futher to discussion re warfarin & eyebleeds (bleeds in eye), I have fairly frequent eybleeds which I find rather scary! The bleed usually continues for at least 2 days & takes over a week to clear. They have become worse & more frequent since I started on warfarin 2005. My INR tends to fluctuate & on 17/12/08 was 2.37. My current warfarin dose is 8 mg daily. Does this problem get worse over time?
I also suffer from AFib and use Warfarin to hold INR 2.0 - 3.0. I, and I believe most, do not have a bleeding problem in that range.
I have no understanding of what you did you to nose, bu *** is clear you can't doo that. If you have nasal congestion blowing doesn't make it better anyway.
Our nasal tissues strength are not all the same, some have problems with bleeding even with an INR - 1.
Saw palmetto may increase the risk of bleeding when taking Warfarin!!
That said I'm on Warfarin and take saw palmetto My doctor knows and I have my INR checked every month. Speak to your doctor first!!!
Well before any decision is made for something like Warfarin, you should have your INR (clotting factor) tested. An INR of 1 is how long normal blood takes to clot. An INR of 2 means it take twice as long and so it goes on. Aspirin and Clopidogrel (plavix) I believe attack the clotting mechanisms in different ways. Personally I don't think they know the long term outcomes.
