Turmeric

Has anyone tried turmeric whilst on warfarin? What were the results? I have got turmeric tablets but haven’t started them yey

Gee Hidden - Warfarin is not a medication to mess around with. Please don’t start Turmeric without speaking to either GP or Rheumy about this, cheers

Rheumatologist said he was happy for me to take turmeric

Hiya Magnolia25. Is your Rheumy aware you're prescribed warfarin?

[Mmrr]

Warfarin and tumeric are catalogued as having a minor interaction with each other, with bleeding being documented in the literature.

It might be best to double check before commencing tumeric.

[Hidden in reply to Mmrr]

Yes, he is.

Turmeric is a blood thinner. I have a background as a natural health practitioner, I can’t stress enough the importance of talking to your doctor. These two are contraindicated.
