Question 3

Question 6

is it possible to find any lactose free blood thinning medications?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: A person on blood thinners can ask his prescribing doctor to look for a tablet that does not contain lactose. Some medications contain lactose, while others do not. If no lactose-free tablets are available, the person can just take the lactose-containing medication with a lactaid lactase enzyme tablet, to digest the lactose from the medication.

Question 7

what may be the cause for a b12 of 1003 and an aptt level of 35.   i am not on any meds for blood thinning?

Accepted Answer

Supplements?: B12 is minimally increased-diet or supplement can do; not a problem. Ptt slightly up can be due to diet: dark green leafy veg sources and/or supplement. (assuming general good health).

Question 8

blood thinning effects of varying doses of aspirin?

Accepted Answer

Aspirin: Aspirin works by 'poisoning' platelets. Once all the platelets have been affected by the Aspirin , if you stop there will daily be more platelets entering circulation that are not 'poisoned'. This is why Aspirin is given daily. One whole aspirin(325mg) a day generally will ensure that all the platelets are hit. The 81mg/day dose is effective for about 80% of people.

Question 9

can 5-loxin cause blood thinning?

Accepted Answer

unknown: I reviewed the 2008 study published in arthritis research (which showed a beneficial effect)-no bleeding was observed. I also reviewed the national institutes of health alternative ; complementary medicine data which notes that it "has not been tested for safety in controlled clinical trials" and it is "regulated as a dietary supplement" (not as a medicine). Bottom line: no one knows!

Question 10

what foods can slow blood thinning?

Accepted Answer

Leafy greens: Dark leafy greens (kale, spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, chard, cabbage), asparagus, prunes, pickles, brussels sprouts, scallions and herbs are among the most problematic of foods (i.e., foods with lots of vitamin k which can slow the effects of blood thinners like coumadin (warfarin).).
