Sintrom 4mg- Blood Tests

Updated

My mother in law is taking Sintrom 4 mg and she wants to know if there is a device or tool to do the blood tests at home, instead of going to a laboratory. We live in Tampa, FL. and we dont know. She just came from Spain to reside with us. Your feedback will be highly appreciated.

Yes, there are meters available for self INR testing, at home. I am not sure of the prices or specific details, such as whether or not she will need a doctor's prescription, but Philips has one available, you can contact them for more information at: 888-744-5477

Yes!
There is a machine called Coagucheck in Canada...it is great.
Cost about $500 Cdn and is completely portable.
I am sure there is a simailr one in the US.
