anti coagulants
There's lots of questions I have to run by my Dr before the trip. I had a heart valve replacement (AVR) due to a genetic issue nearly a year ago and have been on warfarin since. I will be for the rest of my life.
Not a major problem and the whole episode was a kick up the ass to actually do something with my life.
The questions I will have with my doc regard taking stock of warfarin with me,
dehydration and its effects. Counting my INR levels.
The possibility of warfarin replacement treatments. The effects of altitude.
Crossing borders with a supply of prescribed drugs. The possibility of injury and how best to deal with it.
Probably lots of others as well.
Just wondering I guess if anyone else has dealt with these sort of issue.
I have read of diabetics and how they deal with travelling on this forum.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
More than welcome !
