3days on warfarin 1mg inr 1.5 for my fatherforaf what is the maintance dose for him if he took cordarone (amiodarone) and has renal impairment,is it renal safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dose is dependent: Dose of warfarin is very individualized. Diet, weight , metabolism of medications, co morbid conditions, other medications all effect INR. Safety of any drug is all relative. People with renal dysfunction or even dialysis are on warfarin.
