I am on 2.5mg bid Eliquis (over 80 and weigh approx 120lbs). Is it ok to add a small clove garlic daily to my diet? I also take a low dose fish oil daily. Also enjoy a spoon of bee pollen as a treat daily which I just read cannot be taken with Warfarin so wondering if its ok with Eliquis. My diet is plant based and healthy.Thnx for input

Eliquis has almost no food interactions. Garlic has some blood thinning properties so don't take garlic supplements, but real garlic? Enjoy!

I'm on the same dose of Eliquis as you are and if anyone told me I had to give up garlic, I'd laugh at them. Garlic is a featured ingredient in pretty much all of the world's best cuisines, so forget it.

thnx Carey, what do you think of my taking low dose fish oil capsules total 600mgs, I think I did see that some people on here take it.

I don't think it's anything to worry about. Like I said, Eliquis doesn't really have food interactions.

What about spinach?

You can have spinach salad every single day if you want. Like I said, almost no food interactions.

Be careful with foods containing curcumin. It can raise the anti-coagulation effect in the blood.
