No Danny, he doesn't need them as he's on a NOAC apixaban. He didn't have heart surgery only atrial fibrillation so is suitable for NOAC. I believe with surgery, you aren't suitable because there is no reversing agent like there is for warfarin. My pal's hubby is on the warfarin and sometimes it's a right old faff to get the INR levels correct.
I have AF and have had surgery for a mechanical valve so am on warfarin. Faff is the right word, had a test this morning, INR climbing so another juggle of the dosage
