Hello Ma'am
After going through the medical details provided by you I would like to tell you that as your INR is towards the higher side yes you can skip tonight dose and reduce the dose to half from tomorrow onwards.
Repeat the INR levels after 7 days and then adjust the dose of warfarin accordingly.
I hope this information will answer your query.
