Usually not.
The target INR varies depending on the reason the warfarin is given but most commonly it is between 2 and 3.

Is it dangerous to have a 6.5 blood level of Coumadin or Warfarin sodium which is above the level 2 that is recommended and what should be done?
I am assuming by "blood level" that you mean the International Normalized Ratio (INR), as we do not normally check the actual blood level of Warfarin. Warfarin is a commonly used anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication. The level of INR that a patient requires actually varies depending upon the condition they are being treated for. 6.5 is never a therapeutic goal for Warfarin. Elevated INR levels indicate that a patient may bleed. The management for an INR of 6.5 depends upon the presence of bleeding. If the patient is not actively bleeding, it is appropriate to hold the next two scheduled doses of Warfain and monitor the INR. The Warfarin may be resumed when the INR is back to range. IF the patient is bleeding, the Warfarin will need to be stopped and Vitamin K needs to be administered, as well as medical treatment for bleeding. This would be the standard of care in this case.

Is inr comudien level 5.5 dangerous?
5.5 is above level but not critacal
Is an inr of 7.0 dangerous?
Yes, 7.4 is a very high level for INR! Normally (in 95% of healthy adults) it should range between 0.8 and 1.3. However, in people taking warfarin a normal INR level is somewhere between 2 and 3. High levels of INR are associated with: Disorders affecting clotting factors; Warfarin usage; Vitamin K deficiency; Liver disease; Disseminated intravascular coagulation etc.
What medication does INR assess?
The INR (international normalized ratio) assesses warfarin (Coumadin) activity.
I've been on Warfarin for ages but I still got a clot while on it even though my INR results were extremely high does a INR test for medication levels or is it testing actual clotting time?
The INR test measures how quickly your blood clots while on Warfarin. A high INR indicates slower clotting time. However, factors like a vitamin K-rich diet, certain medications, or medical conditions can affect how Warfarin works, leading to clots despite high INR levels.
