Since it is a powerful, blood-thinning medication used primarily to disperse blot clots, it should only be used under supervision of a coagulation specialist and monitored on a regular basis through the use of prothrombin time (PT) and its derived measures of prothrombin ratio (PR) and international normalized ratio (INR) tests, determined through recurring blood draws in a clinical lab environment.
