Warfarin dosage adjustment

I am on warfarin since 1995, to handle paroxysmal afib.
I am looking for one of those software programs that medical centers tipically use for adjusting the warfarin dosage of patients like me.

Do you know of anything like that, downloadable from the net?

Hi Diana, my point is not to measure my INR, which is done at a specialized lab.
My point is to self-adjust my dosage of Coumadin/Warfarin. Or, to understand the adjustments specified to me by my medical centre.

You know, this is how it goes with me most times:
1) I call the centre and provide them the INR value just got from the lab
2) I hold on a couple of minutes, during which I hear them type on their Pc keyboard
3) I get their response, i.e. the day-by-day new dosage of Coumadin and the next check date.

That means, imho, that they use some sort of software, do you agree?
Well, that is the software I'm looking for ...

I am completely baffled. What is the point of this software programme? Surely your INR is too low or high or just right as advised by hospital checking system. Diana

found the info I looked for, thanks a lot!

Probably my reference center (the coagulation department, cardiology service of a major hospital in Milan, Italy) is somewhat atypical

so far I have tried as many as five medical centres+labs located in two regions of northern Italy. Each of them has its own peculiar system and protocol.

Hello Uplbet (Is that yr name?)

I had not realised that you had this system. Sounds a bit long-winded if you don't mind my saying so. Seems odd to have a lab and a medical centre involved. You may be right about a software system being used. My local hospital (15 minutes away from my home) take the blood and then 'phone later if they want me to change anything. They are still using needles even though the heart hospital I attend every few months is now using the thumb prick machine. The local hospital say they are not accurate enough. Diana

Yes. The University of Michigan Health System report "Anticoagulation
Service".
