But remember not to miss it as it is very important for you.  Also, get PT/INR checked at least once per week. Acitrom has no relation to BP and if you are having high BP, you will probably need medicine for high BP too. I will recommend monitoring your bp daily and decrease the salt intake in the diet.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Sameer Maheshwari,  Cardiologist
