Having been on warfarin for 8 months and had plenty of binge drinks, including week-long ones, i believe you can drink anything you want as long as you test regularly and alter the dose to suit.
Simple as that. Doctors don't want to hear it, but you really can drink whatever, whenever, as long as you test whenever your stability is at risk.

What were you drinking? As long as it wasn't a binge session on red wine (which is a blood thinner - it blocks vitamin k and essentially makes it so your warfarin is working too well) - then you should be relatively fine. If you're drinking excessively, then it would effect the way your body absorbs the drug - so that's where people have to be careful.
ReplyDeleteBut I guess everyone's different and that just comes with applying the scientific method.
Have you reported any negative side-effects in warfarin? A lot of anticoagulant drugs on the market are said to have serious side-effects.
