Thousands of New Zealanders 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 from the comfort of your own home or by a quick trip to your local pharmacy.
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.
By using INR online and a CoaguChek® XS this can change. The CoaguChek® XS allows you to take your own blood test at home or while travelling. You just log into your private area of this website, enter your INR result and you and your doctor get instant advice about your warfarin dose.
Alternatively your doctor or local pharmacy may have a CoaguChek® allowing you to pop in for a test at your convenience, making the whole process quicker.
