Actually your doctor will be in a better position to answer your question and there is still a debate for it and in my view Ecosprin is to be used as a blood thinner for arterial clots and is not effective for vein diseases and warfarin is still a preferred option for DVT.

Need to get yourself evaluated for any underlying genetic abnormality for recurrent dvt. If found you will need to continue warf to maintain your inr between 2-3. Better to consult a surgeon get yourself freshly investigated if not done already and then make an assessment about the future plan of your treatment.

You should have a colour doppler repeated, it is not recommended to continue warfarin for more than 3-5 years following a provoked dvt, so it is advisable that with the colour doppler done you should consult a vascular surgeon for future reference.

If the thrombus is blocking there since 2015 and has not resolved, it most probably will be for life. Your doctor needs to take a call whether anticoagulant like warfarin/ACITROM should be taken or not. Have you got the work up done why you had PTE in the first place.

Your PT-INR is normal .Most of the time, results are given as what is called INR (international normalized ratio). If you are not taking blood thinning medicines, such as warfarin, the normal range for your PT results is: 11 to 13.5 seconds. INR of 0.8 to 1.1.

Hello,
for mechanical mitral valve replacement the recommended inr is 3. Adding low dose aspirin 75 mg or so to warfarin is another way forward, however there is a slight chance of increased bleeding, though all studies have found benefit more than the risk, particularly for your wife as she is young. Regards

Hello lybrate-user,
the problem your father faces is the blood thinners he is taking for the atrial fibrillation may have to be stopped before the inj for few days. Warfarin may be needed to stop a week before the injection and can be restarted after the vaccination. Aspirin can be conbtinued.

With warfarin you have to monitor pt inr to adjust the dose.
With evarox no need of monitoring, it is newer medicine introduced in india and is better and safer choice for patients like you.
