If concomitant use of a drug that alters INR cannot be avoided, ↑ INR monitoring Step 3: Identify if sub-/supratherapeutic INR is a result of a permanent
This topic discusses risk factors for warfarin-associated bleeding and poor international normalized ratio (INR) control and presents an approach to the management of a patient with warfarin-associated bleeding or an INR above the therapeutic range (ie, a supratherapeutic INR).
For patients initiating prednisone therapy, preemptive warfarin dose reduction resulted in a non-significant reduction in supratherapeutic INR but increased

Management of an elevated INR caused by warfarin therapy. A supratherapeutic INR is a significant risk factor for bleeding. General principles for preventing supratherapeutic INR involve careful monitoring and consideration of warfarin-drug interactions, including avoiding concomitant non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, certain antibiotics and antiplatelet therapy except where clinical
Elderly patients are generally more sensitive to warfarin and need a lower mean daily dose. A supratherapeutic INR with no bleeding. Warfarin therapy
This single-centre retrospective chart review involved noncritical care inpatients with supratherapeutic INR (4.5 8.9) without evidence of bleeding. The primary outcomes were the change in INR 1 day after implementation of supratherapeutic INR management and the time to reach INR less than 3.0.
