    When you're taking warfarin, you should talk with your doctor before taking any herbal products, such as:
    • ginkgo biloba
    • ginseng
    • St. John's Wort
    • green tea
    • garlic
    • dong quai
    • bromelains
    • coenzyme Q10
    • cranberry
    • danshen
    Warfarin can interact with certain herbal products and can increase your risk of bleeding, or decrease warfarin's effect and lead to clotting.
