Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Why is regular warfarin monitoring necessary?
A: Regular monitoring is crucial to ensure that your warfarin dose remains effective and safe, preventing the risk of either clotting (if the dose is too low) or bleeding (if the dose is too high). INR testing helps adjust your dose to maintain it within a target range.
Q: How often will I need INR testing?
A: The frequency of INR testing varies depending on individual factors, including the stability of your INR readings, changes in health status, diet, or medications. Initially, testing may be more frequent, but it may be extended to longer intervals once your INR stabilizes.
Q: Can I eat green vegetables while on warfarin?
A: Yes, you can eat green vegetables, but it’s important to keep your vitamin K intake consistent, as vitamin K can affect how warfarin works in your body. Our team will provide guidance on how to maintain a balanced diet while on warfarin.
Q: What should I do if I miss a dose of warfarin?
A: If you miss a dose of warfarin, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider for advice. Do not double up on your next dose without consulting a professional.
