Have Cancer, Taking Blood Thinners. Can Pills To Build Up Immune System Be Taken?

My wife has cancer and wants to take some pills to build up her immune system that have have alphalfa in them. She is also on blood thinners because of blood clots (5 to 7.5 mg per day). The normal dosage of the pills is 1 to 3 per day, depending on the season ( cold season or not). Can she take them with the blood thinner?

Hello

Thanks for the query

There are various blood thinners available in the market right now. Could you please specify which drugs she is on. Please get back to me with all the medications she is currently on so that I can assess the drug interaction profile of each.
