INR test

You must do an INR test regularly ?

Many patients need to take Coumadin to prevent blood clots on several indications, such as atrial fibrillation (AF). This medicine, also called Warfarin, is very effective but also has a lot of precautions. The patient must take it regularly without ever skipping a dose, he will have to do a laboratory test (INR) at least each month or more depending on the results. Several factors will influence the dosage of Coumadin, which interacts markedly with alcohol, green vegetables, certain natural products, and several prescription and over-the-counter medications.

Service offered in Ian-Philip Paul-Hus Pharmacies in Varennes and Boucherville :

Dosage adjustment of COUMADIN (Warfarine) according to an agreement with the Ordre des Pharmaciens du Québec and the Collège des Médecins du Québec.

Thus, a patient does not need to go to the CLSC or the hospital to have his INR analysed (Patient follow-up test under COUMADIN). The patient only has to go to one of the Familiprix Ian-Philip Paul-Hus pharmacies so that our team can analyze his INR test and the pharmacist in place adjusts his dose according to established standards.
