Do's and Don'ts

Do's

  • Do take your anticoagulant at the same time daily!

    Consistency is key to keeping your INR stable.

  • Do keep your diet consistent, especially vitamin K intake!

    Foods like spinach, kale, and broccoli affect your INR levels.

  • Do report any new medications or supplements!

    These can interfere with warfarin's effectiveness.

  • Do attend all follow-up appointments!

    Regular INR testing ensures your dosage remains safe and effective.

  • Do tell your provider about any bleeding or bruising!

    These symptoms can indicate issues with your current dosage.

Don'ts

  • Don't skip your medication or double-dose if you miss one!

    Always call the clinic for instructions if you forget a dose.

  • Don't drastically change your diet without consulting us!

    Sudden increases or decreases in vitamin K can throw off your INR.

  • Don't take aspirin or NSAIDs without medical advice!

    These can increase your risk of bleeding when combined with warfarin.

  • Don't ignore signs like nosebleeds, blood in urine, or fatigue!

    These may signal complications needing immediate attention.

  • Don't rely on home monitoring alone!

    Regular clinic testing is more accurate and allows for expert medication adjustments.
