Warfarin and interactions with herbal remedies

When taking warfarin it is important to consider diet and maintaining a consistent amount of Vitamin K in your diet as much as you are able. Foods rich in Vitamin K can impede the effectiveness of warfarin and cause fluctuations in your ILR. Have you ever taken warfarin alongside a herbal remedy and experienced adverse effects? If you have, and are happy to share your story for a potential media opportunity to help raise awareness, please email a brief account to andrew@afa.org.uk. Thank you.

**If you wish to make major changes to your diet or start taking a ‘health supplement’, discuss this with your doctor or the clinic which monitors your warfarin therapy.
