[HagenD320]

My mom has the flu while on blood thinner. Are she able to use the over counter flue Ned with her medical history

She needs to discuss this with her doctor. Sometimes, the pharmacist will offer good advice, but her specialist is the person. To ask.

With good wishes,

Hi, I see you have just joined. This is a forum for antiphosphilipid/Hughes syndrome- have you or your Mum got this diagnoses?

Sorry your mum has got flu - I suggest you talk to your pharmacist/warfarin clinic or GP re contra indications of medicine to warfarin.

We are not here to give medical advice, we can share our knowledge and give support for people with our disease.

I think she did say her mum has APS (Hughes Syndrome) i don't know how everyone is saying she hasn't said why she's here.

Warfarin is a complicated medication best is to check with the anticoagulant clinic or pharmacist. That's what i would suggest for her.

My bad no she hasnt specified about underlying disease. I must be going blind i was reading somewhere else and got mixed up. Mam please go to the anticoagulant clinic or pharmacist, they should help you.

Apologies my mistake i got mixed up, I don't know what i was looking at. No she has not specified about the underlying illness. APS, LUPUS .etc. My bad.
