The target INR ranges from 2 to 3 for people taking warfarin. However, some people will need to have a lower or slightly higher target INR. If your INR is too high your risk of bleeding increases. And if your INR is too low, your blood is more likely to form a blood clot. Monitoring your INR and keeping it in the target range will help you to avoid side effects. The target INR helps doctors to adjust your warfarin dose, which can differ from person to person, and from time to time.
