Ramadan fasting did not affect INR level, TTR, or the number of patients within the therapeutic range before, during, and after Ramadan. However, there was a possibility of achieving a supratherapeutic INR post-Ramadan compared to pre-Ramadan. Therefore, INR monitoring and warfarin dose adjustments accordingly are recommended after Ramadan.
