- Abstract
The article offers information on a study on the use of warfarin in the treatment of thromboembolic cases. It informs that International Normalized Ratio (INR) control must be carried out regularly for adjustment of warfarin dosages. It was found in the study that patients had problems about the use of warfarin and had little knowledge about the drug and adherence to advice but there was no significant difference.
