What is the correct dose of Acitrom for my mother?who had heart valve replacement surgery in 2011 and has been paralyzed for the last year and a half?after we skipped her medicine for three days because her blood-thinning level (INR) rose to 6, and her latest blood tests on November 10 showed a blood-thinning level (INR) of 1.99 and a clotting time (PT) of 20?

Her latest INR of 1.99 shows that her blood-thinning level has come down and is now near the therapeutic range. Because Acitrom (acenocoumarol) dosing is highly personalized and depends entirely on her previous stable dose, I cannot safely prescribe a specific dose online. Please contact her cardiologist or treating physician immediately with these new results. They will guide you on the exact dose to restart and will likely schedule another INR test in a few days to ensure her heart valve remains fully protected.
