Brief Answer:
INR is the parameter to determine the dosage of Warfarin...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

INR is a blood parameter to evaluate the dosage of Warfarin. The acceptable levels should be 2-3. If the level will be 3.3, then, I recommend to reduce the actual dosage of Warfarin.

If the INR level is 2.3, it is within acceptable level, so, you can continue using the actual dosage of Warfarin and keep monitoring the INR level.

Hope it was of help!
