Is it risky to take vitamin k while on warfarin? i think it may help my nerve pain deminish while i have shingles. i have esrd & dialyse i.e.(cumadin)

Do not take vit k: Vitamin k is an antagonist for coumadin (warfarin). Another words it counteracts the effect of coumadin (warfarin). So if you need Coumadin (warfarin) you should stay away from vitamin k. Vitamin k is prescribed to stop the effect of Coumadin (warfarin) under certain circumstances like before procedures. Vitamin k has nothing to do with nerves.

Not a good idea: Coumadin (warfarin) is a vit k antagonist. In other words, it works to thin the blood by blocking vit k. Taking vit k will make the Coumadin (warfarin) ineffective and your blood will clot more easily.
