Welcome to healthcare magic community forum..
Anticoagulants are used to prevent intra-vessel blood clotting. This is best achieved, when the INR levels are kept under constant range (between 2 - 2.5). Certain drugs, alcohol, and diet(vitamin K supplements) that can alter the effects of anticoagulants, lowering or rising the INR levels.. Watch out for these. I would expect you to be free from episodes of DVT and embolism, if these measures are adhered strictly.
