Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Phillips Laxative Dietary Supplement Interact With Coumadin And Prednisone?
I am constipated from consumption of Percoset per dr s orders. I bought some Philips laxative dietary supplement. I take coumadin and prednisone regularly. Is there an interaction risk if I take the Philips? Also, I bought some Ibuprofin to ease back pain caused by a fractured vertebrae. Is there an interaction risk there?
The ibuprofen is a problem, it is increases the risk of bleeding with the coumadin. This family of medication (NSAIDs- ibuprofen, cataflam, naproxen) is generally not recommended with coumadin.
The laxative can be used.
I hope this helps
