Pro Biotics and warfarin

[marc_kowal]

Does anyone know if there are any issues with taking warfarin and Pro Biotics at the same time? I've been having some stomach issues the last few days, and my wife suggested taking some of her pro Biotics. They are a good brand and have to stay refrigerated. I looked on line and didn't see anything that said you shouldn't take them. I always like to ask the brain trust her anyways.

Hi Marc

If memory serves you are a self tester. I can't imagine anything causing any significant issue, so just start using it. Warfarin is not metabolised in the gut so they shouldn't interact.

Even if you get a small effect observed on your next INR I would wait for another weekly reading and see if its a trend or just regular fluctuations.
