    Resveratrol

    Does anyone know if it is okay to take resveratrol along with my heart problems and lanoxin and coumadin? Is it a vitamin or mineral or what? I have heard it is really great for a person to take them. I haven't asked the dr. just thought someone might know. Thanks

    Question about Warfarin

    Yotphix, I don't understand the statement.. that St Judes makes tissue valves. I understand that you are asking a question. I just maybe think I need to know something along with your question. I thought the tissue valves were of human or animal origin. I didn't know they made them. Is that how...

    Mechanical aortic valve and coumadin

    Bina, no it wouldn't be an easy task to regulate that but it must be possible to counteract some of the effects of vitmin k. If we knew how our body processed certain foods and at what rate it might be helpful. Apparently, these people are doing something. 2 mg daily is even lower than mine...

    Mechanical aortic valve and coumadin

    A friend who says he has a mechanical aortic valve says his dr. told him that he might soon be able to get off the coumadin. I am probably behind times but is this possible. I am aware that the new stents are such that after a year one may get off the coumadin. Are the valves the same? Also...

    Can you take your coumudin with a meal, or should you wait 2 hours?

    I take my coumadin in the evening 1 hr before dinner or if dinner is later I wait 2 hr. after eating. My pharmacist told me years ago to do it this way. He said there is some difference of opinion about coumadin and there are no warnings about it because it has not happened enough in studies...

    Marijuana Compounds Hold Promise In Treatment Of Cardiovascular Diseases

    I too am in New Mexico and I agree with Dennis. I don't think there have been any problems associated with the medical marijauna. I think that if it has medical properties, that we should be allowed to have it if necessary. But only if necessary. Just like morphine or pain patches which is...

    My husband and I watched a documentary last year. I don't remember the name of it. (someone jump in here?) I also have read and heard other things pertaining to what that program said. It was to the effect that the USA is subsidizing the pharmaceuticals that go to other countries. The reason...

    Tired on digoxin?

    So Deb you must be taking twice as much Digoxin as Njean and I . I thought that was the way it is but just wasn't sure enough to comment and hope that I interpreted that correctly. I agree with NJean that you need to get the dosage amount checked. And also to think about asking your...
