Does anyone know if it's ok to take Echinacea with meds for af? I know it's herbal but you have to be so careful. Thank you

I have taken it for years . I'm on warfarin by the way. I do know that it should not be taken if one is under treatment for cancer as I think it may reduce the effect of chemo etc but never hearda of any contra indicataion with AF. Good idea to check with your pharmacist as they will know what drugs you are on.
