Hi, if they are not sure, I would go with that, I think you have to err on the side of great caution. I have had a good look for you, and so far can't find any specific paper on this, if I do I will load it on for you. Also do get your Thyroid checked out, as it can cause weight gain or weight loss if out of kilter and of course, also the drug you are on Prednisalone probably has not helped in terms of weight gain. Amazing that you have done so well with your weight loss! Is swimming out of the question if other stuff is currently too painful? We can't dispense medical advice on your particular medication, but do urge you to not go it alone. MaryF

Hello Wales.

I'm afraid that we cannot give medical or pharmacological advice on here, as we are not medical professionals.

You may like to try contacting the manufacturer of the product that you wish to take with Warfarin.

Best wishes.
