Yes. Coumadin (warfarin) is taken as an anticoagulant to help prevent a heart attack/stroke. A reading of 1.0 is far below the correct range of 2.0 to 3.0. To fix the problem, doctors generally prescribe a larger dose (up to 5mg) and insist on weekly blood tests. There are some foods which tend to counteract the benefits of coumadin (e.g. broccoli) and thus a doctor may suggest a change in diet. The key element here is moderation and no major binges.

∙ 13y agoI assume you mean an INR of 4.6. Depending on your medical indication, we shoot for an INR of 2-3.5. Coumadin is by its nature dangerous and needs to be monitored frequently. A level of 4.6 is not highly dangerous but would normally prompt your physician to lower the dose and recheck it in a day or two.

What can you take for headaches while taking Coumadin?
Don't take Tylenol for more than a day or so! I have migraines and took a Tylenol containing migraine medication for several days in a row while I was on Coumadin. At the end of that time, my pro level was 6! Yikes! Afterwards, I read that it is not a well publicised fact that Tylenol (acimetaphene) has this effect taken with Coumadin. Ask your medical provider or blood management nurse what you can take.

If a patient is taking Coumadin and his INR is 10 should I give Heparin?
NO! First, recheck your numbers/ repeat the test.. an INR of 10 is way out of range. Did you accidentally type in 10 when you meant 1.0?? Typically, the target numbers of INR/PT for a patient in warfarin (Coumadin) is between 2.0 and 4.0 (Prothrombin time). An INR/PT of 10 means your patient is at risk to bleed out. Do NOT give another blood thiinner like Heparin, as this will exacerbate the problem. Get the doc on this case involved stat please.

Can you take Lexapro and coumadin?
My doctor prescribed 10 mg of Lexapro to me while I was taking 4mg of Coumadin daily. Not sure if it makes a difference but I am only on Coumadin for another 3 months and have been taking Lexapro for about a month. So I would imagine it is safe as long as you continue to have your INR levels monitored. But you may want to check with your dr especially if you need to be on Coumadin long-term or even forever in addition to the Lexapro.
