I stay on warfarin with regular INR monitoring.

According to my doctor the new drugs are not suitable for me.

At the same time, I have a scheduled appointment with my dentist in 2 weeks from now, for my regular teeth cleaning. 

How should I manage my anticoagulation drug?

  • Skip a couple of doses, as I have never had a thrombotic episode and this will make it easier for my dentist to clean my teeth
  • Since my INR is usually in the recommended range, I should just carry on with my warfarin use as usual
  • Discuss with my dentist at my appointment for the best way to manage my warfarin scheme
  • Follow cardiologist’s advice and repeat an INR measurement one or two days before my appointment with the dentist.
