Cranberry Juice in Blood Clot Warning

Patients taking the anti-clotting drug warfarin have been warned to limit or avoid cranberry juice consumption. The Committee on Safety of Medicines is concerned that mixing the two increases the risk of haemorrhage.

It has received five reports which suggest that cranberry juice acts to increase the potency of the drug.

One man died after his blood clotting levels changed dramatically six weeks after starting to drink the juice.
