Abstract: Sintrom drug has a narrow therapeutic range, which must be controlled by means of INR determination during the whole treatment. The patient¿s diet is one of the most frequent reasons of the variability of this index. In this project a research is realized on aspects such as the awareness of the basic aspects of Sintrom of patients under active treatment, if they take their pills every day, their nutritional habits and the possible relationship with blood clotting disorders. This cross-sectional observational descriptive study is based on data recovered from 31 patients of a health center in Zaragoza (Spain). The INR results from the last six months were searched in the medical history of the participants. A survey focused in general information of the treatment and their nutritional habits was also carried out. The main objectives are to evaluate if a better knowledge of the drug and an adequate diet is related to a better therapeutic compliance and if better dietary habits lead to an improvement of the control of the INR. The results of the present study show that, the group of patients that take Sintrom every day, a higher percentage knew the basic information of the drug as well as the recommended food consumption. Among the patients who had in-range INR in the last six months, a higher proportion followed a suitable diet and without natural products. However, patients with poor management of blood clotting also follow the recommended diet and do not take natural nor herbal remedies.
