Coumadin and Sensa Weight Loss: Potential Interactions & Safety Concerns

Question
Is it safe to use Sensa for weight loss while taking Coumadin?   I have been on Counadin for 5 years.  I take 5 mg per day.

Answer
Dear Madeleine,

As you know, Coumadin is a blood thinner that interacts with a variety of medications, foods and supplements. This question should be directed to the Coumadin clinic where your PT/INR levels are monitored. When asking this question, be sure to provide them with a list of your meds and the names of any green vegetables you eat on a regular basis.
