Specializes in Anesthesiology

Talk to MD: The inr is currently too high for most, if not all, conditions. Talk to your md so they can adjust your dosage.

Not good: Your blood is too thin and you should call the doctor prescribing the Coumadin (warfarin) for recommendations immediately! hold Coumadin (warfarin) until you hear from doctor.
