What is Anticoagulation therapy?

When you take a blood thinner, you know how important it is that your medicine works as well as it should. With anticoagulation/INR (international normalized ratio) therapy, you’ll gain the support you need – not just to make sure your medicine is working, but also to make sure you understand how things are going. You’ll also learn what you can do to manage your condition and enjoy life.

What to expect from Anticoagulation therapy

You’ll get the blood tests you need to make sure your medicine is working properly.

If you need anticoagulation/INR therapy, you’re probably taking blood thinners (Warfarin or Jantoven®) that help keep blood clots from forming. Once you start taking that medication, these blood tests will show how fast your blood clots. This tells us how to manage your dosage and prevent problems before they occur.
