It would be great to get a detailed question.

As far as I understood you wanted to plot your series in a single frame.
There are plenty examples in the help of plot.ts and plot.zoo for that.
I prefer working with time series be using the zoo package. But most things
can also be done within ts.
The packages lattice and ggplot2 offer further styles for plots

Try this:

library(zoo)
test <- structure(list(Date = structure(c(15657, 15664, 15678, 15700,
15713, 15720, 15734, 15741, 15755, 15769, 15783, 15790, 15811, 15832,
15839, 15853, 15867, 15880, 15895, 15902, 15916, 15930, 15944, 15951,
15958, 15965, 15972, 15979, 15986, 16000, 16014, 16021, 16028, 16035,
16042, 16049, 16056, 16065, 16077, 16084, 16091, 16105, 16112, 16126,
16141, 16147, 16154, 16161, 16175, 16189, 16203), class = "Date"), Inr =
c(2.2, 2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.1, 1.9, 1.9, 3.3, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 2.4, 2, 2.5, 2.3,

.Names = c("Date", "Inr", "Wdose", "Deldose"), row.names = c(NA, -51L),
class = "data.frame")
test_zoo<-zoo(test[,2:3],test[,1])

plot(test_zoo) ## read ?plot.zoo or ?plot.ts

plot(test_zoo, plot.type = "single") ## there is a option for plotting both
series in one frame

## Secondary y-axis and ticks are a bit tricky and in most cases you have
to adjust them by hand
plot(test_zoo[,1], ylim=range(pretty(c(0, test_zoo[,1]))), xlab="",
ylab="", col="blue")
yaxp3<-(par("yaxp")[3])
abline(h=seq(par("yaxp")[1], par("yaxp")[2],
(par("yaxp")[2]-par("yaxp")[1])/par("yaxp")[3]), lty=6, col = "grey")
par(bty="n", new=T)
niceticks<-c(0:(yaxp3)*(pretty(c(0, test_zoo[,2]),
n=yaxp3-1)[2]-pretty(c(0, test_zoo[,1]), n=yaxp3-1)[1]))
plot(test_zoo[,2], lty=2, yaxt="n", xaxt="n", col="red", ann=FALSE,
xlim=c(start(test_zoo),end(test_zoo)), ylim=range(0,max(niceticks)))
