I found this really helpful as my INR is so unstable fluctuating between 4.7 and 1.5 at the moment. Have just joined a new practice and she has increased my dosage slightly as is at 1.9 at the moment. My level should be between 3.5 and 4.5 but nobody has mentioned adding anything. I am under the Louise Cootes Lupus Centre but not due back until 30th Sept. I did mention to Dr about this and suggested a change to Fragmin? but as I have been on Warfarin for 40 years and have lots of complicated conditions he suggested I stay on the Warfarin but it seems to have got worse since I saw him at beg of July. Should I contact him? Thank you
