HI
YOU ARE A PATIENT OF MULTIPLE DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS
Foods high in vitamin K (eg, beef liver, pork liver, green tea, and leafy green vegetables) inhibit anticoagulant effect. Do not change dietary habits once stabilized on warfarin therapy. A balanced diet with a consistent intake of vitamin K is essential. Avoid large amounts of alfalfa, asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, green teas, kale, lettuce, spinach, turnip greens, and watercress; decreased efficacy of warfarin
WARFARIN INR IS ALSO AFFECTED BY THE DRUGS OR ANTIBIOTICS YOU TAKE .....JUST KEEP THE INR >2 AND LESS THAN 3.5
TAKE CARE
