Can I take fish oil tablets with WARFRIN TABs?

Answer 1

Fish is fine. Foods to avoid are those high in Vitamin K (as they can cause the Warfrin to be less effective). For women Vit. K should not exceed 90mcg and for men 120mcg - foods such as:

• Kale
• Spinach
• Brussels sprouts
• Parsley
• Collard greens
• Mustard greens
• Chard
• Green tea

(Note: there is no need to completely avoid the above, but should not be eaten in large amounts or too often).

Foods that SHOULD be avoided are:

• Cranberry juice
• Alcohol

As they can further thin the blood and cause bleeding issues.

Warfrin is also know : (under the brand names) Coumadin, Jantoven, Marevan, Lawarin, Waran, and Warfant.
