yes I have ccleuk and I have a thrombosis for both I have been taking wayfarin. Now I am very old, my leuk stays steady but I simply have only 1.4 count despite a week of shots of cumadin in the stomach, still it stays low. but I have many skin cancers but now they hurt so much more. how can my count be off so much when I daily take five of warfarin?
The dosage of warfarin varies between individuals. Some people take 2 mg daily and have a therapeutic level of 2 of the INR. Alot of things can affect the level including other medications which you might be taking, body size and diet.
Your doctor may need to adjust the dose higher - perhaps to 7.5 mg daily for some time and then reassess the level.
Thanks again for the query. Please let me know if I can help you with any additional concerns.
