Warfarin to DOAC and DOAC to Warfarin Transitions
Here are a couple of charts to help you transition patients from warfarin to DOACs, or vice versa. Most commonly, patients are transitioning from warfarin to DOACs for easier dosing and monitoring. Quick tip: apixaban and dabigatran are the two DOAC's that are dosed BID, and the two DOAC's that need to be initiated after INR drops below 2. Rivaroxaban is <3. Edoxaban is <2.5, but that drug is not as commonly used as the other 3 due to limited use in patients with good renal function.
