The yogurt?: If you mean the yougurt drink with fruit, I think that depends on the fruit. If it is a plain yogurt drink there shouldn't be a significant issue. The big issue with coumadin is how much vitimain K is present in the food, or that can be converted by the gut flora into vitamin K. Generally it is leafy green things like kale or spinach that are best to avoid. Do an online search of product nutrition

Talk to doctor: As I may have mentioned earlier, do not take any medications, supplements, herbals, over the counter drugs etc without discussing it with the doctor who prescribed Warfarin. Effect of Warfarin can be upset by many chemicals, including change in diet.
