    Between 2 and 3 is normal. Your doctor should have advised you on new dosing to correct problem when the result came back to high.

    You should be between two and three for the prevention of clotting.
    3.4 is too high as it means you blood is to thin with the danger if you get a cut it will be hard to stop.

    It is not criticaly high but high non the less. You should be getting monitered at least every three weeks and if you are not talk to your doctor.

    4.5 mg of warfarin daily is reasonably high, I take 4mg one day and 3.5mg the next alternating and my reading is 2.4 but the next time the dosage may change.

    My INR is 3.4 and I take 8 mg of warfarin daily. I have been on this dosage for over a year now. I have DVT and have had a clot in both of my legs. Should I see another doctor for a second opinion on my dosage of warfarin?
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood_tests You may need to discuss this with your doctor to know what he feels is the correct number.
    Mine is good at 2.5. 2 is borderline. I'm on coumadin. tests every two to three weeks.

    My wife takes 20mg of xaralto, she just had a tooth out with very minimal bleeding
