Hi,
I was just diagnosed several days ago with a PE in my right lung & put on Xarelto. I have an INR of 1.6 (taken after 1 day on drug) and I've been reading how important it is to be in the 2.0-3.0 range, if taking Wayfarin. Does that apply to Xarelto?

Grace,
No, INR has no relevance with Xarelto. I can't imagine why they took your INR, it must have been an error.

Peter, thank you! I was so confused. Yet, with Xarelto, there's no way of knowing for sure it's doing its job.
