October Case Study

A 2 year old boy presents with a cerebral vascular stroke and placed on warafin. He is given 2mg, and presents with an INR 0f 1.5. Despite consistant increase in dosage his INR never exceeds 2.1, the physician wants him to be at an INR of 2.5.
His dosing is 10 times his body weight, and compliance issues are addressed. His mother assures that she is crushing a tablet into applesauce.

What is a possible reason for this?
