THE QUESTION OF THE
DAY
|
I have been
taking warfarin for six years and my INR is usually in-range.
Today it was 4.4. My doctor told me to change
multivitamins to one that had no vitamin K and stop eating so
many veggies. Does this make sense? -- DM
Your doctor must have
been having a bad day because this is exactly backwards.
If you decrease your vitamin K intake and keep the warfarin dose
constant, then the INR will increase. I am reminded of
something my mother told me, "Remember that every class has
someone who finishes last." One time the student who finished
last in his class at West Point was asked if anyone famous ever
finished last in his class. The answer, "Yes sir, George
Armstrong Custer."
