A member asked:
How can vitamin k be an anticoagulant and at the same time vitamin k helps blood to clot (a coagulant)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clotting vitamin: Vitamin K is used routinely in the newborn as they lack Vitamin K and can be used for Warfarin overdose. Generally Calcium is given with Vitamin D. Ask your doctor. There may be a reason he/she thinks you need Vitamin K. All the best.
