Thousands of Australians take Warfarin to prevent life-threatening blood clots. Warfarin slows normal blood clotting but needs close monitoring. Too much Warfarin can cause bleeding but not enough could lead to a clot. To keep Warfarin treatment safe, patients need regular blood tests.
INR online is an effective, convenient and safe way to manage Warfarin at your local surgery
If you take Warfarin you know it has a major impact on your life; frequent lab tests are inconvenient, your Warfarin dose can be confusing and it is easy to forget when your next test is due.
Your doctor can change this by using INR Online and a CoaguChek® XS INR testing device. The CoaguChek® XS allows your doctor to test your INR on a single drop of blood. The result can be entered into INR Online which gives your doctor immediate treatment advice. Your doctor can give you a printed dosing calendar to keep track of treatment and you can log on to INR Online yourself and see when your next test is due and how good your Warfarin control has been.
Using INR Online and the CoaguChek® can make Warfarin control much quicker and easier and save you time.
