SHE STARTED TAKING MILK MIXED WITH TURMERIC POWDER FROM THE LAST ONE MONTH AND this TURMERIC MILK has DECREASE THE INR .AVOID THIS THING & MAINTAIN THE INR AT OPTIMAL LEVEL TO AVIOID THROMBOEMBOLIC PHENOMENON.Blood may clot on the surface area of the new valve and get into the general way of circulation. It blocks the artery that supplies the kidneys, brain, and legs with blood. The clotting of blood may cause stroke, kidney failure and fainting spells. Heart muscle infection is also a result of this replacement in some cases.
