Turmeric / Ginger (anti-inflammatory)
Culinary amounts of turmeric and ginger are generally safe. However, if you take blood thinners (warfarin, Eliquis, Xarelto) or antiplatelet drugs (clopidogrel, aspirin), large amounts may add mild blood-thinning effects. Keep portions moderate.
Medications that may be affected:
Warfarin (Coumadin)Apixaban (Eliquis)Rivaroxaban (Xarelto)Clopidogrel (Plavix)Aspirin (low-dose)
