The medication I take is not compatible with anything including food, creams, herbs,spices, lotions, etc.?

I have been told that the medication I take affects everything, and I can prove it by my INR tests each time they are done. There is no other medication I can have that is strong enough so I have to stay on the anticoagulant, or die. I have been to specialists, many Dr, and its the same answer every time. So there is nothing else I can do but eat very small amounts of any food. and not use creams, lotions, or take herbs etc. Im taking rats poison (warfarin)The medication I take is not compatible with anything including food, creams, herbs,spices, lotions, etc.?
I think you've misunderstood what you've been told. Either that or the person that told you is uneducated.





Only foods containing Vitamin K affect INR levels. Topical lotions/creams do not. Some herbs do interact with warfarin. Many drugs also interfere with INR.





I frequently prescribe warfarin to patients after surgery. A pharmacist always tells them about what he/she can eat.





On return visit, not one has complained about not being able to eat a good diet or use topical creams, etc.
