Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
SIR, I WAS ON WARF 5 Mg. FOR 3 years, although results were good with no side effects. but this time when i got my INR done i got results 1.66. i am with IVC filter, my doctor today prescribed me with acitrom 4. now my question is how safe is it prior to warf.
The 2 drugs are safe and I can not say which one is superior over the other. But, your INR should be between 2 -3, and If warfarin is not capable to do so, you can switch to the other.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman, Internal Medicine Specialist
