PRESCRIBING INFORMATION ARGATROBAN

(INR W), based on INR for co-therapy of warfarin and Argatroban (INR WA), when the Argatroban dose is 2 mcg/kg/min, use the equation next to the appropriate curve. Example: At a dose of 2 mcg/kg/min and an INR performed with Thromboplastin A, the equation 0.19 + 0.57 (INR WA) = INR W would allow a prediction of the INR on warfarin alone (INR W
