What should you do if you think you might have taken a double dose of Coumadin? I set an alarm for 6:30 every day to take it but I remember turning my alarm off and thinking at 7:00 I needed to take. Then I was eating dinner around 9:15 and thought I forgot so I took it. I’m alternating 8 & 9 mgs every other day. Please advise. Thank you in advance.

Susan Lynn See if you can get your INR checked. They will be able to tell if you did double the dosage and adjust your next dosage accordingly, if your result indicates it's necessary.

Rita Savelis I've never done a double dose but did forget a dose with no INR problem. I'd ask a doctor and either skip a dose or lower it for one day. I keep my meds in a pill box organised by days of the week. That way i can check the day and see if i forgot. I take it with dinner but sometimes am out so take it late when i get home. It can be hard to remember if you've taken meds when it's a daily thing. Each day blends into the next. Take care.

Mary Inghram Thank you all for your responses. Luckily, everything was fine and I didn’t take two doses. My Mom has been gone for 25 years and my sister has been gone 2, so I was reaching out. Thank you all again, so much!
