Enhanced hypoprothrombinemic response to warfarin has been reported in patients with acute alcohol intoxication and/or liver disease. The proposed mechanisms are inhibition of warfarin metabolism and decreased synthesis of clotting factors. Binge drinking may exacerbate liver impairment and its metabolic ability in patients with liver dysfunction. The risk of bleeding may be increased. Conversely, reductions in INR/PT have also been reported in chronic alcoholics with liver disease.
Warfarin (coumadin): Because of the increased risk of bleeding, the concomitant administration of Warfarin with Plavix should be undertaken with caution. (See PRECAUTIONS - General.)
At high concentrations in vitro, clopidogrel inhibits P450 (C).
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to keep doctor in the process as it could be disastrous with possible medical interactions or even food interactions such as grape fruit.
To date there have been no reports of an important interaction in humans between warfarin and clopidogrel. Nonetheless, because warfarin increases the risk of bleeding, blood tests to measure the degree to which the blood is anti-coagulated or thinned (prothrombin time; INR) may be ordered to assess the degree of blood-thinning when warfarin and clopidogrel are used together.
I have even tried herbal remidys to help with the severe menopause symptoms but nothing helps. I even had my primary care doctor run some blood test to check if there were any hormones in my body at all. NONE not a drop. I am always exhausted, profuse sweating for no reason. Severe hot flashes at times. Skin problems. I even had a sleep study done , checked for RA & lupus,, you name it I have been tested for it and guess what? Nothing.
you have to think of the worse case senario of switching to warfarin having the warfarin be too strong and your wife getting a bleed of some kind. This could be in her GI track, brain etc. and can be very life-threatening and could cause huge hospital bills.

Coumadin/warfarin is notorious for the difficulty in keeping your levels in range. Coumadin is known for having many drug-drug and drug-food interactions, which can make you over or under coagulated. For instance, since it works by being a vitamin K antagonist, foods that contain vitamin K (like leafy greens) can lower your INR. Taking vitamin E or fish oil or aspirin could raise it, and make bleeding more likely.
Can I take St john's wort with DIM (Diindolylmethane) ? Are there any interactions?
For this reason you should always tell your doctor about all the medicines you are using, including herbal remedies and those bought without a prescription, since drug interactions can occur with these too.
I hope this helps...remember to always go to the same pharmacist and the same dr. If you go to different doctors make sure they know exactly what you are on ...this could be very dangerous if you mix meds and the doctors don't know the full history.

I was wondering if anyone has used herbal remedies for the treatment of mild Anxiety? I am considering trying an Herb for my anxiety but I have read about so many herbal treatments that I don't know which to choose.

But about 15 years ago I visited Hong Kong and I went to a Herbal doctor. Told him my health problems. Long and short he gave me a mixture of herbs that I took home and brewed as a tea. It fixed what was bothering me in a week. Now the question is there a web site or a phone number to one of these places in the USA? When ever I google and serf the internet I only get pills. That is not the same thing. Thanks for listening.
