Hello, Your mom was advised the medication to prevent thrombosis in her legs, the tablet is basically a blood thinner and your doctor has told to stop the medication as her INR is high, I think he will restart the medication once the INR comes in normal range. Your physician is the best to guide you in this so I would suggest you to follow his advice carefully. Report any bleeding to him or ER immediately. Wish your mother a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
