Am back at work tomorrow so will see how things go over the next week. 6 weeks seems a long time to only achieve 1.5, when non coagulated is 1.Hi Joyce, i am on warfarin i started at 1.8 but have not been put on a high dose, been on Warfarin over a year now and i am fine, i started off with 3mg plus 1mg for several weeks, until my INR started going up i am now inbetween 2.0 and 2.3 and on 3 mg but everyone is different, might be best if ask them why on a high dose, good Luck i am sure they will sort it out for you,Yes--- Had the same problem for 5 months. Serious Interactions. First dose: Loperamide (Imodium) 4 mg (two 2 mg capsules or tablets) by mouth once, then 2 mg by mouth every 4 hours as needed for each loose stool; Maximum daily dose is 16 mg (eight capsules or tablets) per day ; Loperamide is usually taken at home and improvement in symptoms should occur within 24 - 48 hours. The study is based on warfarin sodium and loperamide hydrochloride (the active ingredients of Warfarin sodium and Imodium a-d, respectively), and Warfarin sodium and Imodium a-d (the brand names). The EDW is where any emergency department visit or hospitalization within the Intermountain Healthcare system can be found.Summary statistics were computed using frequencies and proportions for categorical variables and means, medians, and standard deviations to describe continuous variables within the study population. 1,2 Recent guidelines recommend adoption of a systematic and coordinated approach to warfarin management incorporating international normalized ratio (INR) testing, tracking, follow-up, and good patient communication of dosing decisions. Follow-up intervals were recommended using embedded logic and predicated upon the INR being in a desirable treatment range (“green zone”) or not (“yellow zone” or “red zone”), and the preceding INRs being in a desirable treatment range or not.Secondary outcomes included adverse events meaningful to warfarin management including major bleeding, clinically overt thrombosis, emergency department visits, and hospital admissions identified upon EMR interrogation as we have previously reported.To report venous thromboembolism, we applied a natural language-processing program to department of radiology reports for text identifying venous thrombosis using a technique we validated and described.To identify patient presentation to the emergency department and hospital admission, we electronically cross-referenced all patients of interest with the case mix summary that logs every unique patient’s emergency department visit and hospitalization in the EDW. Some reports may have incomplete information.Patients can bring a copy of the report to their healthcare provider to ensure that all drug risks and benefits are fully discussed and understood.
