The amount of vitamin K in your diet can affect the amount (dose) of. warfarin you need to take. Your medicine dose must be balanced with your. diet to allow the drug to work correctly. A few things to remember when taking warfarin: You want a medium or moderate amount of vitamin K in the foods you. eat.
Broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage, otherwise known as cruciferous vegetables, are also high in vitamin K and should be avoided on a daily basis. Even for people taking warfarin, vitamin K is an essential nutrient, so speak to your doctor before cutting out these foods completely. If your medical care provider feels your warfarin is not as effective as if should be due to your diet, try making substitutions. Add cauliflower to a stir fry, for example.
