Usually INR for Warfarin is 2.0-3.0, so it is low. If you are concerned call your pharmacist before talking with your Doctor. If the lab was from the doctors, check with the pharmacy if they might have sent in a new Rx for an increased dose.

Need to call a doctor because you are at higher risk of clotting. When did you get the INR result of 1.1? If you are self testing need to get to a week day schedule. Also does your doctor have a Coumadin clinic they work with? Ask them for guidance if this happens again on a weekend.

Maybe call the ER first, and tell them your level. Ask them if you should go in, or wait and call your doctor on Monday.
