Interactions with Blood Thinners

Sea buckthorn oil may enhance the effects of blood-thinning medications, increasing the risk of bleeding. Monitor for signs of excessive bleeding and consult a healthcare provider before use if taking blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or are scheduled for surgery.

Sea buckthorn oil possesses mild anticoagulant and antiplatelet properties. When used in conjunction with blood-thinning medications like warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or other anticoagulants, it may potentiate their effects. This potentiation can lead to an increased risk of bleeding events, ranging from minor bruising to more serious hemorrhages. Monitoring for signs of excessive bleeding, such as prolonged bleeding from cuts, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, easy bruising, blood in urine or stool, or unexpected bleeding, is crucial. Individuals with bleeding disorders or those scheduled for surgery should exercise caution and consult with their healthcare provider before using sea buckthorn oil.
