My INR is 4.7 and should be 3.0-3.5. Could someone please advise me what take today and tomorrow. I take 7 mgs daily. Also another question. I have been taking Tylenol 3's, as I broke my arm. I thought acetaminophen was okay with warfarin. I have taken Tylenol 2's with no affect on my INR...

I will go for months and do this Warfarin dosing then bang. When I make a mistake it a bad one. I went away for a couple of days and forgot to bring my pills with me. I take 6 mgs/day. Didn't take any Thursday or Friday. Saturday I took an extra 5 mgs. Could anyone advise me what to take today...

I am the Thanksgiving person who over the holiday's managed to miss my warfarin 2 days in a row. I missed Sat. and Sun. and took a dose and half on Monday and Tuesday. Today my INR is 5.9. My doctor suggests not taking my dose Sat. and Sunday, and resuming normal dose on Monday. It seems I will...

Because of the Thanksgiving weekend, and all the activities around my house, I seem to have managed to miss taking my Coumadin not only once, but two days in a row. I know how to dose for missing one day, but not two. Can anyone advise me what to take. Thank you.

I was wondering if anyone was around. I am trying to decide whether to go to the hopsital or not. My INR is 6.4. My leg has a very large bruise that has spread alot over the past few days, probably 8". Should I go?

My clinic nurse has not called me back and I am not sure what to take when my INR is 6.7. Last week it was 3.6 and I take 11.50 mgs per day. The doctors office said to hold it for 3 days...but that doesn't seem right. TIA, Robbyn

I was telling you good people how hard it was for me to get my INR into the right range. Well today my INR is 5.2 that is up from 4.5 last week and 4.8 the week before, I was taking 18 mgs daily and she cut I down to 17.5 for the past week. I am unable to get hold of the clinic today and was...

I have a question for those of you who have an anti-couagluation adjust your Coumadin. If your INR varies a lot would they try to find out why. For example one week it is 2.4 and the next week it is 4.6. Or if it is continually below what the INR should be, for example 2.4, when it should be...

Some may remember that I had to have a large cyst removed. I was concerned about the Lovenox injections - that I wasn't getting enough but apparently it is one injection and it lasts 24 hours. So I was covered there. Now, yesterday was supposed to be last day of Lovenox. I did have an extra...

I need to have a small surgical procedure done on January 8th, it will involve me taking bridging. I have had Heparin before, but never Lovenox. What is the difference between the two. I also have another question. This past week I had to go to the hospital because of A fib, for the first time...

I have to have a rather large cyst - 1" x 1" removed. When I called the surgeon for the date, his nurse automatically told me that I needed to completely stop my Coumadin 1 week before the date of my appointment in the hospital. This is without the doctor even seeing me first. I was shocked. I...

Some of you may remember I was concerned at one time about the high doses of warfaring I had to take. Sometimes as high 20 mgs. a day. There didn't seem to be any reason. Well... I have just returned from 10 days in the hospital with pnuemonia. During my stay my INR went as high as 8, which I...

to take my Coumadin last night. My body has settled on 14 mgs a day. Should I split the missed dose over 2 or 3 days. Taking 14 plus half the missed dose of 7 seems so much to take - 21 mgs. Or does it matter over two or three days. Last time I had my INR done it was 3.5 perfect. TIA

It has been 3 years since I had my Mitral valve replaced. I am still going to have blood drawn every week to have my INR tested. I live in Canada, so there is no charge to me. My Coumadin is managed by a anticoagulation clinic in a major teaching hospital. My INR seems to be very difficult to...

I feel down and banged my head. There is a fair sized lump on my head. Should I start worrying? Thanks

of Warfarin a day high, and does it really matter in any way? Thanks

I have been taking Warfarin for almost 3 years now, and more often than not I still need to get my INR checked weekly. I have other health problems that have contributed to this, but it was starting to even out. Lately my INR has been quite low, 1.8 last week. The clinic has gradually increased...

What do they do for a low INR of 1.3? Anything other than increase the Coumadin?

I took a rather nasty fall on Thursday. I fell directly on my knee cap. It was very painfull so I went to the hospital to make sure I didn't break or fracture it. It is a bruised knee cap. The problem is the doctor said I probably have 2 litres of blood in my leg. Last week my INR was 4.7 this...

I have had to take antibiotics approx. 15 times in the past year. It is causing havoc with my INR. Last time it went up to 6.1. The hospital gave me vit K - too much, then had to give me 2 bags of fresh frozen plasma to lower it. I am yet again to start antibiotics just when my INR has been 3.5...
