INR Blood Monitoring

What is Anticoagulation Monitoring?

Anticoagulation monitoring involves testing your blood clotting time to measure your International Normalised Ratio (INR). This test ensures your warfarin dose keeps your INR within a safe range, helping to prevent serious side effects like bleeding while treating conditions such as:

  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Venous thrombosis
  • Pulmonary embolism
  • Transient ischaemic attacks


Warfarin is a safe and effective medicine when monitored closely. Our pharmacists are trained to perform INR tests, adjust your warfarin dose if needed, and provide clear advice to help you manage your treatment.
