Supplements and Blood Thinners: Ingredients to Discuss
Supplements and blood thinners can interact, and some herbs may raise bleeding risk. We cannot say any supplement is safe with Eliquis or warfarin for you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before starting one. The SciatiEase herb blend contains feverfew and Chinese skullcap, both of which deserve that question.

Can supplements interact with blood thinners?
Yes, some supplements can interact with blood thinners such as warfarin and Eliquis. Supplements can raise bleeding risk or change how a drug works (NCCIH, Using Supplements Wisely).
Warfarin is the best-known case. Ginkgo with warfarin is linked to a higher risk of major bleeding, and St. John's wort has documented interactions with it (NCCIH, Herb-Drug Interactions). Even a common herb such as chamomile has been reported to interact.
FDA has also found warfarin hidden in some products sold as supplements (NCCIH, Using Supplements Wisely). Hidden ingredients are one more reason to buy from a clear source.
| Herb | What the source says |
|---|---|
| Ginkgo | Higher major bleeding risk with warfarin |
| St. John's wort | Documented warfarin interactions |
| Cat's claw | May slow clotting |
| Feverfew | May slow clotting |
Which SciatiEase ingredients should you discuss?
If you take a blood thinner, discuss the herb blend first. It holds feverfew, passionflower, Chinese skullcap and oat straw, 50 mg in total per 4 capsules.
Feverfew may slow blood clotting (NCCIH, Feverfew). Lab studies suggest Chinese skullcap may add to the effect of warfarin and other blood thinners (MSK, Scutellaria baicalensis). These are cautions, not proof of harm at the small amounts in this blend.
Single herb amounts are not published. Feverfew is at most 50 mg and skullcap at most 16.7 mg, from the label order. The herbal blend page explains the math.
We cannot say SciatiEase is safe with Eliquis or warfarin. That call belongs to your doctor or pharmacist.
What should you ask before combining them?
Ask your doctor or pharmacist before the first capsule. Bring the label and your full medicine list.
- Which ingredients could change bleeding or clotting?
- Do I need blood tests more often?
- Should I avoid the herb blend entirely?
- Do I need to stop anything before surgery or dental work?
Keep taking prescribed medicine. Never stop a blood thinner because of a supplement. The FDA advises against replacing prescribed medicine with supplements (FDA 101: Dietary Supplements).

See packsWhat signs of bleeding need attention?
Unusual bleeding needs a call to your doctor, and heavy bleeding needs emergency care. Watch for easy bruising, nosebleeds that do not stop, blood in urine or stool, or bleeding gums.
Heavy bleeding, a head injury, or sciatica with numbness around the groin or bottom, bladder or bowel changes, weak legs, or symptoms in both legs.
SciatiEase is a supplement, not a treatment for any condition. It comes with a 180-day money-back guarantee on the order page, which you can use if your doctor advises against it.

FAQ01
Quick answers on blood thinners and supplements
Can I take SciatiEase with Eliquis?
We cannot say it is safe for you. The herb blend has feverfew and Chinese skullcap, both flagged for clotting concerns in our sources. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before you start, and bring the full label.
Do vitamins interact with warfarin too?
Some can, so ask. Vitamin K is the best-known case with warfarin, and the SciatiEase panel lists no vitamin K. Still, check every supplement with a pharmacist, since interactions depend on your dose and health.
Should I tell my dentist about supplements?
Yes. Tell your dentist and surgeon about every supplement, since some may affect bleeding. The feverfew source advises stopping it at least 2 weeks before surgery. Your care team decides the timing.
