Does Norco Affect The INR Levels?
My 87 y/o mother had a recent fall which resulted in a lumbar vertebral Fx. She was prescribed Norco for pain relief. She is on Coumadin for paroxysmal A-Fib related to Mitral valve insufficiency. Should we be concerned about Norco effecting her INR?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Norco does not appear to affect the INR levels. There's no documented harmful interaction between Coumadin and Norco hence it does not affect INR levels. Narco can be taken safely as prescribed by her treating doctor.
Hope I could clarify your concerns. A feedback is appreciated!
