Patient, 91 years old, mildly demented.

Even after discontinuing Marcomar for five days, the low value (13) still persists. Cause?

Dr. med. Frauke Gehring

Good evening,

Marcumar is an antagonist of Vitamin K. The less of it one consumes, for example through vegetables, the stronger the effect of Marcumar. In this case, more vegetables and salad should be consumed to counteract this.

Sincerely, Dr. Höllering
