This document summarizes a review of 72 clinical case reports on interactions between the anticoagulant warfarin and various herbs. The majority (84.7%) of cases were evaluated as possible interactions, while 15.3% were probable interactions. Cranberry juice was the herb most commonly reported to interact with warfarin, accounting for 34.7% of cases. Most cranberry juice interactions (92%) were deemed possible, while 8% were probable. The review concludes that combining warfarin with herbs appears risky given the expanding number of reported interactions and advises patients on warfarin to avoid herbal medicines or have their INR measured within two weeks of starting a new herb. Further systematic studies on warfarin
