Question 1

can my husband drink hibiscus tea if he is on warfarin. he take 5mg. daily. his inr has to be 2.0 to 3.0...thank you?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: I couldn't find anything specifically about HIBISCUS tea, but tea in general can both antagonize warfarin (lower the INR) and also promote bleeding by interfering with platelet function which won't show up in the INR. That said, I'll bet a lot of people on warfarin drink tea, so if he loves tea, I'd say use it cautiously and monitor the INR.

Question 2

i take warfarin how do tumeric, chilli, chia seeds, garlic, onions, ginger stinging nettle tea interact with warfarin?

Accepted Answer

It's complicated but: I dislike warfarin because virtually every medicine and herb interacts with it. Turmeuric, chia seeds, garlic and ginger also thin blood and thus you might need to lower the dose. Rather than avoiding these one can consume consistent amounts &amp; adjust coumadin accordingly or one can consider alternative meds or even supplements (under doc's guidance) to thin blood.

Question 3

is redbush tea safe with warfarin?

Accepted Answer

Tea and warfarin: In general, most teas, including green tea and red bush tea, is completely safe with warfarin. Occasionally if a patient overindulges, there may e a mild "resistance" to the effects of warfarin as evidenced by a lowering of the INR, necessitating a slightly higher warfarin dose. In general, with any dietary changes, you should alert your health provider if you are on warfarin.

Question 6

does white tea affect inr? i take warfarin and i know that green tea affects it, but how about white tea?

Accepted Answer

White tea = green te: White tea comes from the same plant as green tea. The only difference is that white tea leaves are picked at a younger age than green tea leaves. If anything, during processing, they retain MORE of the flavonoids &amp; other aromatic compounds that give it it's unique flavor. However, it should interact with warfarin just as much, if not more, than green tea. Tell your doctor if you'll be experimentin

Question 7

do cranberry juice or green tea interfere with coumadin or warfarin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Any source of vitamin k can reduce the effectiveness of warfarin. Some other things to be aware of are blueberries, sweet potatoes, and dark green vegetables, such as spinach, broccoli, and kale.

Question 8

i'm on warfarin. is loose leaf kombucha safe? does loose tea have more vitamin k than tea bags

Accepted Answer

Always check with : Your doctor first on how anything you take affects your INR and platelet time. The more Vitamin K activity, the more it will affect this. A teabag is similar to a teaspoon of loose tea leaves. So volume of leaves will determine strength of tea, and how long you seep it, and how concentrated it is. How much you imbibe (total volume.) Google it to find out kombucha specifics &amp; discuss with your Dr.

Question 9

will decaf tea affect my inr whilst on warfarin. ive also been on 2.5mg bisoprolol since 1st june 23 for afib?

Accepted Answer

: Decaf tea should not affect your warfarin but anything you eat/drink consistently can be fine because your warfarin dose can be adjusted for whatever you are eating/.drinking. The key to warfarin dosing is to eat/drink the same things consistently and do not make any sudden dietary changes. If there are any dietary changes made, have an INR checked. Good luck to you!

Question 10

my dad is on warfarin, my doc told him to avoid chamomile tea and cayenne pepper? why?

Accepted Answer

Liver metabolism: look on the internet for foods etc which interfere with the breakdown of Coumadin (warfarin)  there are a lot of foods etc which change how it is broken down  so levels are either too high or to low  so it is important to always have your blood checks to make sure you are in the right range also there are new medications out which help the same but without blood tests so ask your provide
