Does ginger interact with any medication? is drinking lots of ginger tea (wz grated ginger in it, 3 x day) bad if you take lots of medications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ginger: Ginger may effect blood clotting -so consult your dr about use if you take anti-inflammatory meds (i.e. naproxen, ibuprofen) or blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin). Diabetics on meds should also d/w dr because it may v blood sugar & ^ actions of insulin & other medications. Please consult with your physician if you have ulcers -as high dose ginger is usually not recommended in this situation.
