Dietary vitamin K intake – Although the medication guide discusses the importance of maintaining a steady or consistent dietary intake of vitamin K, some of the comments tend to suggest that a patient on warfarin should avoid or limit the intake of certain foods. Recent information has indicated that a healthy (higher) intake of vitamin K may actually help to improve stability of the warfarin therapy as measured by the INR. Consequently, many clinicians endorse the importance of consistency of dietary vitamin K intake; but they may be reluctant to discourage the consumption of any particular foods.
Try to understand the cause of my INR of 4 ? still not so sure? too much to learn!!!
