Brief Answer:
interaction possible
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Garlic can potentiate the action of warfarin and increase risks of bleeding. Hence it is preferable not to take both together.
If you decide to take it then you need to monitor PT inr regularly and report immediately if there is any bleeding
Hope this helps. I will be available for follow up.
