I got 90 days supply of brand name Coumadin 5 mg yesterday, still waiting for 90 days supply of Coumadin 10 mg from Kroger Atlanta

I do that as well. My nurse sent prescription to Kroger on last wednesday, but unfortunately, it has not been filled from last 5 days. I had to move away from generic warfarin too coumadin because of crazy INR variations with generic warfarin

I have brand name coumadin for next 10 days. I take 15 mg every day. If I dont get coumadin @ kroger by next week, will get a new prescription for generic warfarin, since they've generic warfarin in stock.

I'm also waiting for 90 day supply of brand name coumadin from Kroger. They told me that i should get it sometimes this week, but they can give me 20 pills to cover me till they procure 90 days supply.

We all would love to be on generic if it works, since it's almost free. My INR was stable just after surgery and i used to get my warfarin from CVS at that time (probably Teva), but then last year, I moved warfarin prescription to Walmart and had some other medical changes, things have not been...

Does Costo get it from Teva? Before switcing back to generics, i wanted to know if brand name stabilizes my INR or not.

I'm planning to stay with coumadin for rest of the year and then move my prescription from walmart to CVS and go back to generics.

I only did lovenox once when I was testing only once a week and my INR went from 2.9 to 1.4 after missing my warfarin for 1 day. I consulted with my cardiologist and nurse and decided to go with lovenox the next day. Now, I'm testing twice a week (even though i don't need to), but till my INR...

You're right. I only did lovenox once and probably wont do it again, unless my INR goes too low. But now with me testing twice a week, there is probably no need. I still plan to keep lovenox at home (for emergency). I think i got 4 injection for $80 and they expire Dec 2020. I don't mind...

Sometimes my INR goes from 2.5 to 3.2 in the span of 3 days, and that's why i test at lab on Wednesday (covered by insurance) and test at home on Sunday (almost free except strips). I've direct access to my nurse (her personal cell), so that I can talk to her and get advice. Few months ago i...

My INR range was initially set 2.0 - 3.0. I was taking 15 mg warfarin every day (without baby aspirin) to maintain my INR range, but i accidentally took (10 mg of warfarin + 5 mg of crestor) instead of taking (10 mg + 5 mg of warfarin). Next week testing showed my INR to be 1.8 and my nurse did...

James: Best wishes from Atlanta

my cardiologist approved home testing after 90 days. I think that restriction was placed by the insurance company

Thats true, most of the people will not need it, if they test weekly. I keep loveneox at home, because even with weekly testing, my INR fluctuates drastically in 2-3 days. I'd situations where my INR has gone down from 2.9 to 1.4 in 2 days (1 missed INR dosage)

IMHO, it's always good to have 4 Lovenox injections at home with expiration 12 months in future and test at home. That way, you can always administer lovenox, if INR goes sub-therapeutic.
