A PT and INR are ordered on a regular basis when a person is taking the anticoagulant drug warfarin to ensure that the prescription is working properly and that the PT/INR is appropriately prolonged. There is no set frequency for doing the test.omeone who is not taking warfarin would compare their PT test result to the normal range provided with the test result by the laboratory performing the test. A prolonged PT means that the blood is taking too long to form a clot.
