What Diet Should Be Followed While On Eliquis?

Hello and thanks in advance. I ve been on Eliquis for a year but my cardiologist didn t give me any orders on what I shouldn t eat. Friends on Warfarin can t have dark green veggies, cranberry juice or green tea because they are high in Vitamin K. Does that apply to me? Mateel Haas 93 YYYY@YYYY

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can take any diet you wishes, diet doesn’t has any role in warfarin metabolism. The only thing you have to be cautious is that when you are about to start any new drug, please tell the doctor that you are already on warfarin because many drugs may interact with warfarin and thus causes various changes in its metabolism.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
