You'll see more patients monitoring their own warfarin therapy
March 1999
You'll see more patients monitoring their own warfarin therapy...similar to diabetics who monitor their own blood glucose.
Warfarin patients can test their own INRs at home with monitors such as CoaguChek and ProTime. These monitors are easy to use and are as reliable as traditional lab tests.
Patients can call in their results to you or their physician...or they can be taught how to adjust their own warfarin dose.
