About the Anticoagulation Clinic

The UW Health Anticoagulation clinic offers management services for patients on warfarin, dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban from pharmacists specializing in anticoagulants.

Anticoagulation Clinic Services

Our Anticoagulation Clinic gives patients a consistent method for assessment, monitoring and education for patients on anticoagulation medications. As a patient, you can expect:

• To meet with a pharmacist each time you need your (international normalized ratio) INR checked
• The opportunity to speak with the pharmacist about any concerns you may be having with your warfarin
• The chance to review dietary, physical and social changes that may affect your warfarin
• To have your blood tested with a simple point-of-care method or fingerstick method to get your INR within minutes
• Instructions on what dose of warfarin you should take and when you need to have your INR checked again

• Have a UW Health primary care provider
