With a portable INR monitor and help from Alere™ Home Monitoring, you can now determine your INR easily and reliably without leaving the house. As you may know, Coumadin® (warfarin) helps prevent blood from clotting and needs to be monitored frequently. It is important to keep your INR or International Normalized Ratio in a safe range.
Home INR Monitoring can be done as frequently as once a week and will help keep you within your target INR range more often than monthly testing.
Your doctor will help determine how often you should be testing.
