The warfarin therapeutic range refers to the target international normalized ratio (INR) values at which the anticoagulant effect of warfarin is deemed effective in preventing thromboembolic events while minimizing the risk of bleeding complications.
For most indications, the therapeutic INR range is 2.0 to 3.0. Exceptions are when war-farin is used for secondary prevention after a myocardial infarction or for patients with high-risk mechanical prosthetic heart valves, in which case the range is 2.5 to 3.5.
