Ive had my mitral valve replaced with a mechanical valve, and now Im on blood thinners (Acitron) for life. Can you please advise which foods I should avoid while on this medication?
As your doctor, Id advise you to avoid foods high in vitamin K, like spinach, kale, and broccoli, as they can interfere with Acitrons effectiveness. Limit alcohol, grapefruit, and cranberry products, and always maintain a consistent diet to avoid fluctuations in your INR levels.
