How Does Garcinia Affect My INR Levels?
I am wondering how taking garcinia will affect my INR levels. I have gained so much weight since starting this medication. Apparently, I am highly sensitive to coumadin and my INR levels have been all over the place since starting the coumadin in January. (Ranging from 13 down to 1.8 and everywhere in between) My last INR was 2.8 about a week ago which is where I need to be. I am due for testing again tomorrow morning. Currently, the clinic has me alternating my dosage between 2.5 mg and 1.25 mg every other day. I do not want to have to take high doses of Coumadin to accommodate for taking the garcinia, but there does seem to be certain health benefits other than weight loss to taking the garcinia,
