Warfarin: interactions with other medicines

All interactions

Food and drink with this medicine

What
Green leafy vegetables, cranberry juice and grapefruit juice
Why
Vitamin K in greens affects how thin your blood is; a sudden change in the amount changes how warfarin works.
What to do
  • Don't avoid green leafy vegetables (spinach, parsley, dill, cabbage, lettuce); keep the amount steady from day to day, with no sudden big changes.
  • Avoid cranberry juice and grapefruit juice.
  • No herbal remedies without asking your doctor or pharmacist.
  • Keep alcohol low.

Ask your pharmacist about timing and food with this medicine.

Before changing or stopping any medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Never stop your medicine on your own.
