I have paroxysmal afib and have been on warfarin for years with target INR range 2.0 to 3.0. Last saturday I had to suspend warfarin because of a bleeding problem that fortunately (this morning) has then been diagnosed as not significant and not related with warfarin. This morning (tuesday) coagulation test result was INR 1.28, and I was told to resume warfarin, at the same dosage as before.
Question: how many days will it take me, approximately, to get INR over 2.0 again? Thanks in advance -- uplbet (in email reply delete 01234 from the address)
I was told that the averaging time is 1 week. Another piece of info: When I had a tooth extracted, I was told to go off the warfarin four days in advance,

Based on my experience with Coumadin, it will take more than a week, probably about 10 days, longer if you eat much green vegetables..
