1 interaction related to INR
Cocoa flavanols can modestly reduce platelet activity in people, which in theory could add to warfarin's anticoagulant effect. In practice the evidence is mechanistic only: no case reports or clinical studies show actual bleeding or a change in INR from cocoa in people taking warfarin. Keeping cocoa intake small and consistent is a sensible precaution rather than a response to a proven interaction.
