Hello,

How do I start new patient on warfarin? There are no previous readings as the patient has just been strated on warfarin.

Thank you for your help.

Yours Eva

Dear Eva,
If you are asking about the generalities how to start warfarin, you would need to read about both:
1. Fast initiation with bridging with s/c enoxaparin
2. Slow initiation for AF

email me at cgr@formulae.com if you need more specific information about a particular case, the indication of warfarin and whether or not the patient has had a loading dose of warfarin, what dose and what date.
