What fruits should you avoid if you are on blood thinners?

Coagulation, Thrombosis, Hemostasis

If you are taking blood thinners, avoid the following fruits:

Grapefruit: Grapefruit is rich in naringin, which can affect the drug-metabolizing enzymes in the liver, leading to increased drug concentrations in the body and possibly causing drug overdose.

Grapes: Grapes contain a large amount of tannic acid and flavonoids, which can bind to certain ingredients in drugs and affect drug absorption and efficacy.

Pomegranate: Certain ingredients in pomegranate may interact with drugs, affect drug efficacy, and may even cause adverse reactions.

Persimmon: Persimmons contain a large amount of tannic acid, which may form insoluble precipitates after binding with drugs in the stomach, affecting drug absorption and efficacy.

Banana: Bananas are rich in potassium, and some patients with blood diseases may need to limit their potassium intake. In addition, certain ingredients in bananas may also interact with certain drugs and affect drug efficacy.

‌Citrus fruits‌: Such as oranges, grapefruits, etc. These fruits contain more fruit acid and vitamin C, which may affect the stability of drugs and reduce their efficacy; at the same time, they may also react chemically with certain drugs to produce harmful substances.‌

‌Effects and side effects of blood thinners‌:

Blood thinners include antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants, which are mainly used to prevent blood coagulation and thrombosis and make blood flow smoother. However, blood thinners may cause side effects such as bleeding diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious when using blood thinners and avoid taking them at the same time with foods that may affect the effect of the drug.‌
