Will rhus tox interfere with your Coumadin?
Rhus Tox seems to be a homeopathic compound derrived from the plant Rhus toxicodendron-- a plant that I'm pretty sure doesn't exist. The articles call it Poison Ivy, but while that plant is sometimes archaically named as genus Rhus, it's also genus Toxicodendron-- for instance, the Poison Ivy I know and love from hiking is Toxicodendron radicans. T. radicans is rich in urushiol -- a truly nasty irritant toxin related to antigenic response. In other words, dangerous stuff. It's hard for me to believe that Rhus Tox has anything to do with urushiol or T. radicans. The reason I bring all this latin up is that, with so very many homeopathic remedies, it's really hard to know scientifically exactly what you're really getting. Worse, as "herbal" remedies are from live plants, the exact contents vary from season to season and year to year, so you NEVER really know what you're getting, or at what strength. As such, I know of no relationship between urushiol and coumadin, except the itching and toxic effects are pretty awful regardless of drug interactions. As I can't really tell what's in Rhus Tox, there's no way I can say if it's safe or not.
