If I am to stay in the same anticoagulation regimen, I should adjust my dosage and regulate my diet according to my doctor’s advice.

I might also need more frequent INR measurements. So, my doctor offered me a switch to Apixaban twice daily.

Now, I am taking my new drug without problems so far.

What should I do regarding monitoring of the drug’s action?

  • I should do an INR measurement every now and then
  • Apixaban has a predictable-fixed effect and there is no need for routine testing of its efficacy
  • The drug works fine, as long as I adhere to my previous diet low in vitamin K
  • I will ask a relative/friend, who also takes a NOAC on how to monitor the drug’s effectiveness
