Plavix is a blood thinner. The doctors say that there is no restrictions. My mom is on cumiden, and she can not eat anything green. Her doctor says my husband needs to be careful.

My father-in-law needed to have a stent put in. His doctor gave him an ACE, a beta-blocker and aspirin. Does he not need to have a blood thinner as well? Please answer if you are in the medical field. I don’t need anyone to tell me to “ask his doctor”. Thank you in advance!

I take plavix and have heard that people taking coumadin, a blood thinner is not supposed to drink green tea. I know that plavix is also a blood thinner.

I’m having a procedure done on my neck and i have to stop taking blood thinners 5 day before the procedure. Right now I’m taking
Tramadol APAP 37.5 (Generic for Ultracet)
Skelaxin 800mg
Fexofenadine 180mg (Generic for Allegra)
Metformin 500mg
Ibuprofen 800mg

I’m pretty sure the Ibuprofen is a blood thinner but not sure about the rest..
