foods and medications that interfere with warfarin
Eating certain foods, especially those rich in vitamin K, can diminish warfarinâs effectiveness. The highest concentrations of vitamin K are found in green leafy vegetables such as kale, collards, spinach, turnip greens, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, scallions, asparagus, and endive.
Greens and garlic and my favorite chamomile tea, lots of herbs, etc. effect how Coumadin works and would be awesome to see an article for folks like me. Answer: Coumadin, also known as warfarin, is an anticoagulant (blood thinning') medication that's usually used to prevent or treat blood clots. Warfarin works by slowing down vitamin K activity and increases the time it takes for your blood to clot. Making significant changes in the amounts of vitamin K you consume in a short period can mess with your warfarin dosage, so it's important to speak with your doctor about the foods you eat.
