| Vitamin K is found in healthy foods like leafy greens. Vitamin K helps blood to clot, so it can change the way warfarin works. This does not mean you need to stop eating foods with vitamin K. Your goal is to eat about the same amount of vitamin K each day. You can do this by eating the same amount of high- and medium-level vitamin K foods each day using the list below. If you cannot eat for a few days or are making big diet changes, call your doctor. Vitamin pills, herbs, or other supplements such as calcium soft chews can have vitamin K in them or can interact with warfarin. Always show your doctor the label of all vitamins, herbs, or other supplements you take. | ||
