Question: Why would a person not take tetracycline if they were already prescribed coumadin!?
Answers:
Many commonly-used antibiotics, will greatly increase the effect of warfarin by reducing the metabolism of warfarin in the body!. Other broad-spectrum antibiotics can reduce the amount of the normal bacterial flora in the bowel, which make significant quantities of vitamin K, thus potentiating the effect of warfarin(coumadin)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
