RE: vitamin k/coumadin/multis

[Guest guest]

YOu are right. Consistent intake of Vit K is what we look for. Sometime, when

people restrict Vit K too much and the intake is too low, INR will increase too!

In those cases, when there is no immediate risk of bleeding - the treatment will

be Vit K injection.At any case, your client is now just afraid. Many MDs are

confused regarding Vit K and anti-coagulants. If she had a clot, the MD might

have not monitor her INR close enough.Good luck finding Multi that does't have

Vit K. I can't think of one.

Subject: vitamin k/coumadin/multis

Hello,

A client developed blood clots and was advised to stop her supplements to limit

K intake. I do understand that as long as it's consistent, it shouldn't matter,

but due to her doc's recommendations, she wants a multi that doesn't contain K.

Any thoughts?

Thanks so much!

Best,

Cheryl
