Dear friend , i have read your query ... to prevent clot formation INR should be >1.2 (normal INR 1.0) .. but if it is too high(>2.5-3) there will be chances of internal bleeding /stroke.. hence monitoring INR is very important for adjusting the oral anticoagulant dose.. may be with the consultation of your treating doctor you need to reduce the dose of coumadin but not to take your own decission. moreover, you cannot even stop taking this medicines also... by the way vit K is rich in green leafy vegetables , alfalfa plant is the richest source ... take care do write us for further queries ... THANK YOU
