I ve been placed on warfarin for life along with folic acid and B-6 and B-12. Regular checkup s have kept me in a therapeutic range, 2.5 to 3mg of warfarin has done the job. All of a sudden (Last six weeks) I ve dropped to 1.4 INR. No multivitamins or leafy greens, in my diet. I ve been on warfarin since 2002. Should we be looking at other testing?Now my doc has me up to 4mg with a little uptick, still not in an acceptable range. He s got me going to the lab every two to three days.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Warfarin is commonly used anticoagulants. 2. However, if it is not helping, you can try newer ones like dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban and apixaban.3. They are much costlier and have similar side effects as heparin. You can get prescription from you doctor and get the dose necessary. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
