SYNOPSIS Many complementary medicines have confirmed or potential interactions with warfarin. These interactions can increase or decrease the anticoagulant effect of warfarin and have the potential to cause serious adverse events. A number of herbs and foods alter the metabolism of warfarin by acting on cytochrome P450 enzymes. Other potentially interacting complementary medicines include those with possible effects on platelets and those containing natural coumarins. Warning both consumers and prescribers of warfarin about the potential for interactions with complementary medicines may reduce the risk of these interactions. Such warnings are appropriate for a drug that has a narrow therapeutic window and requires regular monitoring. In view of these interactions, prescribers should check the international normalised ratio within a week of a patient commencing or ceasing a complementary medicine. Index words: anticoagulation, herbal medicines. Aust Prescr 2002; 25: 546 ; Introduction Interactions with warfarin can lead to either an increased or decreased anticoagulant effect. Those that increase the anticoagulant effect significantly increase the risk of serious haemorrhage. Interactions that decrease the anticoagulant effect significantly increase the risk of thromboembolic complications of the condition for which warfarin was prescribed. Drug and dietary interactions with warfarin Coumarins mainly warfarin ; are currently known to interact with approximately 250 different drugs. Interactions can increase or decrease the international normalised ratio INR ; . Haemostasis involves interaction between the vessel wall, platelets and coagulation factors. In addition to drug interactions that may alter the INR, medications may alter platelet activity and modify haemostasis resulting in prolonged bleeding time without affecting the INR. Antiplatelet agents will prolong bleeding time and may increase the risk of serious haemorrhage when taken with warfarin. As these drugs have a different action the INR may be unchanged despite the increased risk of bleeding. Dietary factors may affect the action of warfarin and the resultant INR. Deficiency of vitamin K will increase the INR, while a diet high in vitamin K will decrease it. Dietary substances that inhibit or induce the cytochrome P450 pathway may alter warfarin's metabolism and increase or decrease its half-life. While the anticoagulant effect of warfarin generally begins within 24 hours of taking the drug, the peak effect may take up to four days. As the effective half-life of warfarin is about 40 hours, and the anticoagulant effect is delayed, it takes several days after any dosing change before plasma concentrations and anticoagulant effects reach a steady state. Interactions between warfarin and complementary medicines A wide range of complementary medicines, both nutritional supplements and herbal preparations, have confirmed or potential interactions with warfarin. Nutritional supplements that have documented interactions with warfarin include vitamin K, vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 which have been associated with a decrease in INR. Vitamin E has been associated with increases in INR, but there is conflicting evidence in the literature.1 A small number of herbal preparations have documented interactions with warfarin. The strength of the evidence to support these associations varies widely. Herbs with a documented increase in the anticoagulant effect include garlic2 Allium sativum ; , dong quai3 Angelica sinensis ; , danshen4 Salvia miltiorrhiza ; and devil's claw5 Harpagophytum procumbens ; . Herbs with a documented decrease in the anticoagulant effect include Korean ginseng6 Panax ginseng ; and green tea Camellia sinensis ; .7 The mechanism of these interactions is not always known and the majority of this literature is based on single cases. In some cases the mechanism is understood. One medicinal plant and two foods have been shown to increase the metabolism of warfarin through their action on the cytochrome P450 pathways leading to the lowering of the INR. Substances known to induce P450 include St John's wort8 Hypericum perforatum ; , broccoli 9 and Brussels sprouts 10 . These interactions occurred with a standard dose of St John's wort extract 900 mg daily ; and diets rich in broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Grapefruit juice, a known inhibitor of cytochrome P450, does not appear to alter warfarin metabolism.11.

Susceptibility profile MIC ; against select ESBL isolates Minimum inhibitory concentration MIC ; tests were carried out by broth micro dilution12 to determine the susceptibility profile of all K. pneumoniae n 47 ; and select E. coli n 43 ; against different classes of antibiotics. Results One thousand and six thousand and ninety-nine Enterobacteriaceae spp. were recovered from different clinical specimens like blood, urine and exudates submitted for routine microbiological analysis from both in and out patients of the hospital during the period March 2000 to February 2001. Data was analyzed by Whonet software to sort the identity and source of 1699 Enterobacteriaceae isolates. Three hundred and thirty-six out of 1699 19.8% ; Enterobacteriaceae isolates were identified as potential ESBL producers by the double disk potentiation test. The figure demonstrates the response seen by the position of the disks. The table describes the different species that were identified as ESBL producers among the clinical isolates. The identity of the ESBL positive isolates was as follows: E. coli with 63.7% 214 336 ; was the largest group followed by K. pneumoniae 14% 47 336 ; , Citrobacter spp. 11.3% 38 336 ; and all the other species together comprised 11% while 14% 47 336 ; were isolated from blood, 39% 131 336 ; were from urine and 47% 158 336 ; were from exudates. Phenotypic confirmation of ESBLs was carried out by disk diffusion assay as per the recommendations of NCCLS.8 The zone of inhibition of the antibiotic alone was compared with the zone of inhibition in combination with clavulanic acid. According to NCCLS recommendations a difference of 5 mm increase in zone diameter for either agent tested in combination with clavulanic acid versus its zone diameter when tested alone confirms the presence of ESBLs. K. pneumoniae n 47 ; and E. coli n 43 ; exhibited a clear difference of 8 mm zone diameter to ceftazidime cefotaxime and aztreonam in combination with clavulanic acid.

The researchers cautioned that fornondiabetics, to prevent unintended hypoglycemia, it may be important thatthe american ginseng be taken with meals. Clinical signs the serotonin injections induced flushing, loose stools, drowsiness, and tachypnea persisting for several hours after the injections and purim. Cient to account for about 85% of the estimated dietary niacin. On the basis of the studies by Walters et al. '55 ; one might predict a conversion rate of this magnitude. Frazier, Prather and Hoene '55 ; studied niacin metabolism in human subjects on a diet similar in niacin and tryptophan content to the present diet, and found that considerable amounts of V-methyl-nicotinamide were excreted. If the present subjects excreted similar amounts of this metabolite, over 100% of the dietary niacin would have been accounted for. This sug gests that some tryptophan may be converted to niacin on a diet such as that used in the present studies. The urinary excretion of appreciable amounts of a number of the appar ent by-products of the conversion of tryptophan to nicotinic acid also suggests that the subjects were using this metabolic pathway to some extent. The extent of the conversion of tryptophan to niacin on a natural diet presumably adequate in each might be diffcult to obtain without the use of isotopes. The pyridone excretion by the subjects studied by Frazier et al. '55 ; would account for less of the dietary niacin than that which was accounted for in the present experiments. On a diet containing 16.3 mg of nicotinic acid and 1.12 gm of tryptophan the average pyridone excretion of their subjects was only 9.59 mg, which was enough to account for only about 48% of the dietary vitamin. However, Frazier et al. '55 ; used a diet which was otherwise different from that used here. They also used female subjects and a different method for the determination of the pyridone. From the data in table 3 it would appear that the pyridone was the chief urinary metabolite of tryptophan when a single supplemental dose of 2.0 gm of the amino acid was admin istered. From the increased urinary excretion of the other tryptophan metabolites, however, it would appear that con siderable tryptophan was lost in side reactions along this pathway. Kynurenic acid was of most quantitative signifi cance in this respect, followed closely by o-aminohippuric acid and kynurenine. That these other metabolites of tryp tophan are by-products of the pathway leading to niacin.

A list of currently registered ginseng dealers in the Commonwealth is available from the DCNR upon request or via the internet the Web site address is provided at the end of this publication ; . It is important to recognize that it is unlawful to transport ginseng across state boundaries for sale elsewhere without first obtaining a vulnerable plant license; this regulation has been established in order to better manage the state's ginseng resource, and violations can bring stiff state and federal penalties. Ginseng dealers are well acquainted with the characteristics that add value to ginseng root. The main features that are assessed in a transaction are root size, weight, shape, color, and age. Proper digging, drying, and handling of ginseng are essential because all root characteristics used to set a market price will be adversely affected by improper or hasty practices. Experienced buyers can also easily distinguish wild- and woodscultivated roots from those grown under artificial conditions. This is because intensive culture through the establishment of tilled beds and the application of fertilizer or water results in plants that grow faster and more luxuriously, thereby yielding roots that are distinctly cultivated in appearance. Unlike many conventional horticultural crops, the highest return from ginseng root is based not on its size but on its "wild" characteristics. Because ginseng trade is monitored by state and federal agencies, there are regulations established in Pennsylvania that govern ginseng's collection and commerce. One important regulation to keep in mind is that wild ginseng roots have to be at least five years old before they can be certified for sale.

The metabolism of warfarin ; . This would increase warfarin clearance, reduce plasma warfarin levels, and reduce anticoagulation response. American ginseng Panax quinquefolium ; : A recent study examining the effect of American ginseng on warfarin-induced anticoagulation found a statistically significant but quantitatively small decrease in warfarin plasma levels in individuals co-administered American ginseng and warfarin. These results suggest that American ginseng may cause a small decrease perhaps clinically insignificant ; in the efficacy of warfarin. Others: Case reports implicate other supplements in the modulation of warfarin effects. Supplements that may potentiate the effects of warfarin include: garlic Allium sativum coenzyme Q, Chinese salvia Salvia miltiorrhiza devil's claw Harpagophytum procumbens dong quai Angelica sinensis vitamin E; cranberry juice Vaccinium macrocarpon and papaya Carica papaya ; . Conversely, green tea Camellia sinensis ; may antagonize the effects of warfarin. Because the incidence of these case reports is small, the authors warn that scientific conclusions on this important therapeutic issue should be based on valid scientific data rather than non-validated case reports. A controlled study indicated that grapefruit Citrus x paradisi ; juice did not influence the anticoagulation effect of warfarin. Among natural substances in herbal medicines, only St. John's wort and possibly ginseng have been proven to influence warfarin anticoagulation. The authors indicate that there is no reliable evidence to indicate that any dietary component other than vitamin K ; or any herbal product interacts significantly with warfarin. However, further controlled studies should be conducted to determine any potential interactions.
