hi,
Coumadin is best taken at evening times 5-6 pm. Remember, there are many interactions of food with coumadin, which can either reduce or potentially augment the effect of coumadin, especially green leafy vegetables and oils.
Next time you consult your doctor, ask what foods to avoid while on coumadin. if you get no reasonable answer, you can utilize our premium service, which will surely be helpful to you.
All the best.
