Question 1

I'm really concerned about my mom. She had her MVR surgery back in December 2011, and for the past year and a half, she's been paralyzed. Recently, her INR levels were all over the place and hit 6, so we stopped her dose for three days. We've restarted with acitrom 2, but on November 10th her INR was 1.99 and PT was 20. I'm trying to figure out what the right dosage should be for her now. Any advice would be really helpful.

Accepted Answer

Regarding your mother's case, based on her current situation with an INR of 1.99 and PT of 20, the appropriate dose adjustment for her would be to continue with Acitrom 2, but with a slight increase in dosage. I recommend increasing the dose to Acitrom 2.5 to help stabilize her INR levels more effectively. It's important to monitor her INR levels regularly to ensure they stay within the target range.
