Age 57: im taking clavix 75 mg & arvast 40 mg. can blood thinners help with shortness of breath ? and can you take cinnamon , ginger, garlic with blood thinners as well ? what should i avoid taking during medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Although you're taking an antiplatelet agent in Clavix, I don't regard it as effective against venous blood clots that travel to the lungs & cause chest pain & shortness of breath. Antiplaletets are more effective against clots in arteriolar vessels. As a general rule I don't think anyone taking true anticoagulants like warfarin or the novel anticoagulants should take supplements due to interactio
