Should be ok: Dietary interactions with Coumadin (warfarin) mainly revolve around vitamin k, as in leafy green vegetables, which counteracts the coumadin (warfarin).

Question 2

can there be some interaction between coumadin (warfarin) therapy and apple cidere vinegar?

Accepted Answer

No interaction known: I&#x27;m not a fan of Coumadin because almost every drug &amp; many foods &amp; herbs interact with it, but there are no known interactions between Coumadin &amp; any vinegars- this doesn&#x27;t mean there can&#x27;t be-I saw a report from 1 person saying it increased their INR- so use caution. See  http://www.Drugs.Com/food-interactions/warfarin. Low doses of Vitamin K can stabilize INR levels:

Accepted Answer

Go see your doctor..: Now! you didn't explain why you're taking Coumadin (warfarin) but we typically aim for inr 2-3 if for blood clot or atrial fibrillation or clotting disorder. We aim for 2.5-3.5 if you have mechanical valve. Inr of 6.1 is way too high. Your Coumadin (warfarin) dose needs to be held/adjusted & inr monitored closely until back into therapeutic range. 8 lb weight loss in 2wks is not normal either. Go see your doctor now!
