[|Human|] Acitrom tabs - how do you the exact quantum to be taken ... when you take 2 mg for a week and check INR is nearly 6 and if you take 1 mg a day for a week, the INR is down to 1.4 -- how does one find the median - .5 mg is not available to given say 1.5 mg to check how it varies. pls let me know
[|AI|]  Actually I need to know indication for which you are prescribed Citron. We usually monitor INR to adjust dose to get its best effect without risk of bleeding. If you are given for prophylaxis against deep vein thrombosis your INR should remain around 1.5 and for patient with replaced prosthetic valve it should be around 2.5Now Citron is available in strength of 1 to 4 and recently 0.5 is also introduced.in your case 2 mg daily if high and 1 mg daily is low .so you can take 1 mg and 2 mg every alternate day. Check INR after 2 weeks. Depending upon INR value you may adjust the dose.
