Too much anticoagulant medicine, NSAID’s, aspirin, bleeding disorders increases the INR Some antibiotics can increase the PT/INR. Barbiturates, oral contraceptives and hormones replacement therapy, and Vitamin K (either in a multivitavin or liquid nutrition supplements may decrease PT. Alcohol can also affects PT. I do not recommend to auto prescribe any medication. Talk to your healthcare provider and ask your provider before any use. Thank you.
Consult Functional Medicine. Vitamin K causes clotting. Don’t focus on numbers on function.
Hello, I do not understand the problem here I have not come across a PT/INR that was too low. The best person to help you with this is the person doing your procedure or your primary care provider. I doubt that Vit K would do anything we use this to lower the INR.
