Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Beetroot, Rocket Salad And Glass Of Wine Be Consumed While On Warfarin?
I am nearly 80 years old, a female, had mastectomy 12 years ago, and reoccurence 5 years ago (in situ) and now am ok. I also take citalopram for some years due to having had panic attacks since I was 28 years ago due a boat incident whilst on holiday abroad. I take warfarin as recently having been diagnosed with attrial fillibration. Could I eat beetroots, rocket salad and drink a glass of wine with my evening meal. I feel quite well.
