The product is informative with one major exception. Cranberry juice is touted as a good food, and I read that it will give relief to bladder infection. I tried it and it does help a lot, especially if you’re on a catheter.
I wanted to get away from sulphur since it shoots my INR high. The problem with cranberry supplements is that it, too, shoots my INR higher than the Sulphur.
Anyone who gets this prescribed by their physician should be given more information on the foods that can’t be eaten while taking this medication, the side effects if they do.They should also be told how to adjust the coumadin dosage if they do eat certain foods.
I’ve been on Coumadin since 1989. Your product is a good starting point for people beginning Coumadin therapy. As time goes on, however, new products and supplements are always coming to market. Each new product should be reviewed for safety (interaction) by each individual and his/her primary care physician.
