Taking Angocin Anti-Infekt N with other medicines

The active ingredient nasturtium herb powder contains vitamin K. A reduction in the effect of anticoagulant medicines such as phenprocoumon and warfarin (so-called vitamin K antagonists) when taken at the same time as Angocin Anti-Infekt N cannot be ruled out. When taking the above-mentioned anticoagulant medicines (e.g. Coumadin, Marcumar or other products with these active ingredients), it is therefore recommended to monitor the Quick value or INR value closely or have it monitored and to consult the attending physician. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, even if they are non-prescription medicines.
