1 interaction related to danshen
Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza), widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for cardiovascular conditions, interacts with warfarin on two fronts. It slows warfarin's clearance (a pharmacokinetic effect that raises warfarin levels) and independently inhibits platelets and clotting (a pharmacodynamic effect). Published case reports describe severe over-anticoagulation and serious bleeds, including bleeding into the chest cavity, when patients added danshen to warfarin.
