St. John's Wort can REDUCE anticoagulant effectiveness. Take at separate times and inform your prescriber about all herbal supplements. Request more frequent INR monitoring if on warfarin.
Higher risk for: elderly patients, those with liver disease, history of GI bleeding, concurrent use of multiple blood thinners, recent surgery, vitamin K intake changes, alcohol use, or low body weight.
Monitor for signs of altered bleeding when combining Warfarin with Gotu Kola. Watch for: unusual or easy bruising, blood in urine or stool, prolonged bleeding from minor cuts, frequent nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or heavy menstrual periods. Have your INR or clotting times checked more frequently when starting or stopping this combination. When to seek emergency help: Severe bleeding that does not stop, blood in vomit, sudden severe headache, vision changes, confusion, or weakness on one side of the body (possible internal bleeding or stroke).
No urgent need to discuss, but always keep your doctor informed of your full supplement and medication list. Say: "I take Warfarin and Gotu Kola — is that OK?"
