INR ? I know this is to do with Warfarin but do I need to know what mine is ? I am only on 150mg of aspirin

[staceylou]

I am also building up to 400mg of Hydroxychloroquine I am on about 250mg at the mo and have to say i think its about time they started to make the stuff in lower doses as I have to take 50mg in oral suspension which is truely awful

Hi Staceylou

I agree, INR is only affected by Warfarin and is a measure of the clotting time of your blood, when on that drug.

Best wishes.

Hi don't forget that the anticoagulant acenocoumarol also has an affect on the clotting time of your blood, and if on this you should also have regular inr blood tests.

[staceylou in reply to lynzy]

acenocoumarol ? what is this please ? never heard of it ! Have to have bloods done about every six months for the Hydroxychloroquine and eye tests.

[staceylou]

No reason just the only way/idea i had of building it up as it meant i could build it up without it having to much effect on me.

[lynzy]

As Lynne has provided the above link, it says it all. Just another form of anticoagulant that is used to keep the blood thin enough, but more effective with a smaller dose every day.
