Question 1

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.

Most anything.: Greens ( spinich, kale, mustard, turnip greens) can blunt the effect on the coumdain on thinning your blood.  The important thing is, if you eat certain foods reguarly, you will not have wild swings on your pt. If you suddenly binge on foods such as these, that is a different story.  And the taking of antibiotics can increase your pt.

Should not: Coumarin is take for certain medical problems and it works by thinning the blood to prevent blood clots. It works by inhibiting certain blood clotting factors. As soon as one stops taking the coumarin the blood regains it's usual clotting abilities. It usually takes about 48 to 72 hours to replenish these factors leaving no long term side effects.

Effects of Warfarin: Warfarin is a vitamin k antagonist, hence it will block all the vit k dependent clotting factors preventing the formation  of the fibrin clot.  It effectively delays your blood from clotting. It is  important to take the right dose so the blood clotting is delayed to an optimum time.  This is done by checking pt (prothrombin or factor ii time) and inr. Details of this will be out of scope.
