I was just wondering if anyone has noticed whether Vitamin K2 interferes with their INR? Does it have the same affect as Vitamin K? Thank you in advance

Thank you both. I called the Coumadin clinic and they talked to my cardiologist and they both said to test in a week to see if it’s going to affect my INR. Again, thank you both.

Hello, I was diagnosed with Latent Tuberculosis (which means I am not contagious but the bacteria is still in my body and can cause Tuberculosis if I come in contact with someone who has Tuberculosis) and I am starting a treatment plan using the medication Isoniazid. Isoniazid is known to...

Thank you both for the responses. I got my INR tested this morning and I was a 2.7, so I'm in range.

I go to the Coumadin Clinic every 4 weeks to get my blood tested. I went this past Wednesday and my INR was 4.1. My range is 2.5-3.5. They told me to hold a dose on Wednesday and continue my normal dosing schedule for the rest of the week. They want me to go back to the clinic on Monday. I take...

Hello, I was wondering approximately how long it takes for a dose of Warfarin to show up in your INR. Thanks, Alex

I am on Coumadin as well and was not advised of restrictions as far as roller coasters go. You should be fine. I don't believe the rides at Disneyland are too intense.

Thank you very much Pellicle!

Hello, I'm planning to go to Mammoth Lakes, CA which has an elevation of 7,880. I will be there for 5 days. I was wondering if high altitude has an effect on INR? I've looked online and found conflicted findings. Thank you, Alex

Thank you very much for the help you all!

Hello, I have a question. Taurine is present in many things, including some caffeinated beverages. Have any of you noticed an effect of Taurine on your INR? Thank you, Alex

The time that it takes for people to get the right dosage to have stable readings varies from person to person. I currently take 12 MGs three days a week and 10 MGs the rest of the days. My INR lowers when I am active so I had to make two adjustments when I started running again and when I went...

Thank you, as always Pellicle :)

I know it takes up to 24 hours for you to notice a difference in INR, but I was wondering, when you take your Coumadin, how long does it take for your body to absorb it? 2 hours? 4 hours? Just curious.
