Prothrombin Time: Preparation

 
Medical Encyclopedia: Prothrombin Time: Preparation
 

The doctor should check to see if the patient is taking any medications that may affect test results. This precaution is particularly important if the patient is taking warfarin, because there are a number of medications that can interact with warfarin to increase or decrease the PT time.

— John T. Lohr, PhD
