    Does Vitamin K2 interfere with Coumadin or affect INR?

    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

    How often should I get my INR checked when taking this medication?

    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.

    How long does it take for a dose of Warfarin to show up in your INR?

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

    How long does it take for a dose of Warfarin to show up in your INR?

    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...

    Disney rides

    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.

    High Altitude and INR?

    I know 7,880 isn't the highest altitude out there, but it's significantly higher than the altitude in which I live in. The above site you linked was one of the sites I found. All together, the sites really come to no conclusion of whether higher altitude can attribute to INR instability. I...

    Can't seem to keep Inr above 2

    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...

    How long does it take for your body to absorb Coumadin?

    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.

    Post-Surgery Echo Results

    I had heart surgery on January 15th of this year to replace my severely leaking Bicuspid Aortic Valve with a St. Jude Mechanical Valve. The surgery went very well with no complications, a textbook surgery. Two weeks ago I had this weird feeling in my chest, like a heaviness. I didn't know what...

    INR drops with excercise

    Ok, so what you're saying is it doesn't matter at what time I exercise, but at how hard I'm exercising?

    INR drops with excercise

    I'm so glad you're doing well and everything went as planned! 10 mg is considered a bit of a high dose but there's people out there who have gone higher. It might have to do with my metabolism since I'm 24. Everyone is different so that factors in as well. I'm 5'8 and 158 pounds.
