Hi,
Acitrom should be stopped immediately as INR is way above the target range. For three days of skipping the dose the INR may be repeated if below 3-5, can be started at 1 mg per day. If INR is failed or achieve, or too low, dose can be incremented back to 2mg per day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
