Hi, I've just been diagnosed with PAF so taking 10mg of Beta,s and Pradaxa. Has any one got info on taking VitD on these drugs pls?

Also trying to cut out caffeine so I was advised fruit teas are fine. I had a reaction I think? Has anyone else pls?

I have PAF and I take Pradaxa after a full stroke in July. I take 400iU of vitamin D daily. I drink normal black tea, green tea and matcha green tea without a problem.

You can get decaff tea bags which are fine.

Now I mentioned I had started on decaf tea and the specialist told me they're just as bad because of the chemicals used to extract the caffeine. He said just have 3/4 teas per day, but change to fruit tea and drink those as and when. Thanks for answering.

You can get decaffeinated with a water process rather than the suspect chemical process.
