Brief Answer:
It will increase the risk of bleeding.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You are taking caumadine.

Circumin affects the platelets clumping. Do it has some anticoagulant property. If it is taken along with caumadine then both have same actions and it will increase the risk of bleeding from minor cut.

So consult your doctor and adjust the dosage accordingly. After dosage adjustments you can take it.

Hope I have answered your question.
