However, once on anticoagulants such as Coumadin and Warfarin, one is almost certainly on it for life. I would have thought youd have twice or thrice weekly INRs untill you got to an acceptable level taking 2mgs and 3 mgs on alternate days. Normally one would have the injections for the first three days of taking the anticoagulant (we call theis the three day loading dose) then a check INR would determine if you need to continue with the injections untill the INR is stable. we usually use warfarin 10mgs 10mgs 5 mgs for the first three days accompanied by fragmin injections then a follow up INR. If the inr is stable take an INR every 3 days then weekly if remains stable.<br><b>References : </b><br>Lifes experiences. With treatment this should go away.
