I take the rat poison myself, and have never had any consistent result in my INR test, but it sure is a hell of a lot cheaper than any patented replacement would be. I always worry about my next blood test, because the range of it has been all over the map, so I might be interested in something new. Since I have had a pulmonary embolism and a DVT, I follow news like this a lot.
