Hello and welcome to HCM,
Formation of blood clots occurs due to abnormal activation of clotting factors and/or deficiency of anti-coagulants in the body.
The disorder is managed by drugs that inhibit clotting.
However, excess of this drug can cause bleeding.
INR is an investigation which is performed to keep a check on bleeding.
Thus, get INR done and consult your treating doctor.
Bleeding can be avoided by keeping INR under check.
Bleeding will get controlled within few hours of taking the drug and controlling INR.
Thanks and take care
