Can patients taking warfarin take Phytax?
For patients taking blood thinners, namely Warfarin,taking Phytax may affect the blood clotting rate for some sensitive individuals. Therefore, it is recommended to check the bleeding profile after a few days of taking Phytax (between 3-5 days). A change in the Warfarin dose may be required for individuals who are sensitive to taking Phytax.For those taking Warfarin, Dr Syid recommends checking the bleeding time in the hospital as follows:
1. Take the product for 3 days.
2. Check the blood clotting rate in the hospital (the doctor will
adjust the Warfarin dose as appropriate).
3. Take the product and Warfarin consistently.
