To better serve patients who take prescription blood thinner medications to prevent life-threatening blood clots, Porter Regional Hospital recently opened an Anticoagulation Clinic in the Center for Cardiovascular Medicine.
During a patient’s visit, Porter’s pharmacists and nurses review patients’ prescription and over-the-counter medications for potentially harmful drug interactions; perform blood tests; communicate lab results; adjust medication dosages as needed; and provide patient education about blood thinners.
To learn more about the new Anticoagulation Clinic contact Porter’s Anticoagulation Clinic coordinator at 219-983-5119, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
