You may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take both medications. Contact your doctor if you have a reduced heart rate, dizziness, fainting, or headaches. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Applies to: Miradon (anisindione)

Nutrition and diet can affect your treatment with anisindione. Therefore, it is important to keep your vitamin supplement and food intake steady throughout treatment. For example, increasing vitamin K levels in the body can promote clotting and reduce the effectiveness of anisindione. While there is no need to avoid products that contain vitamin K, you should maintain a consistent level of consumption of these products. Foods rich in vitamin K include beef liver, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, endive, kale, lettuce, mustard greens, parsley, soy beans, spinach, Swiss chard, turnip greens, watercress, and other green leafy vegetables. Moderate to high levels of vitamin K are also found in other foods such as asparagus, avocados, dill pickles, green peas, green tea, canola oil, margarine, mayonnaise, olive oil, and soybean oil. However, even foods that do not contain much vitamin K may occasionally affect the action of anisindione. There have been reports of patients who experienced bleeding complications and increased INR or bleeding times after consuming large quantities of cranberry juice, mangos, grapefruit, grapefruit juice, grapefruit seed extract, or pomegranate juice. Again, you do not need to avoid these foods completely, but it may be preferable to limit their consumption, or at least maintain the same level of use while you are receiving anisindione. Talk to a healthcare provider if you are uncertain about what foods or medications you take that may interact with anisindione. It is important to tell your doctor about all medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

When anisindione is given with enteral (tube) feedings, you may interrupt the feeding for one hour before and one hour after the anisindione dose to minimize potential for interaction. Feeding formulas containing soy protein should be avoided.

hydroCHLOROthiazide food

Applies to: hydrochlorothiazide / quinapril

HydroCHLOROthiazide and ethanol may have additive effects in lowering your blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate. These side effects are most likely to be seen at the beginning of treatment, following a dose increase, or when treatment is restarted after an interruption. Let your doctor know if you develop these symptoms and they do not go away after a few days or they become troublesome. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

anisindione food

Applies to: Miradon (anisindione)

Using anisindione together with ethanol can cause you to bleed more easily. If you take anisindione you should avoid large amounts of alcohol, but moderate consumption (one to two drinks per day) are not likely to affect the response to anisindione if you have normal liver function. You may need a dose adjustment in addition to testing of your prothrombin time or International Normalized Ratio (INR). Call your doctor promptly if you have any unusual bleeding or bruising, vomiting, blood in your urine or stools, headache, dizziness, or weakness. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Rarely, vitamin supplements containing vitamin K may reduce the effectiveness of anisindione. This may be more likely to occur in individuals who have low levels of vitamin K in their blood. Before using any vitamin supplement, you should check the label to make sure it does not contain vitamin K. If it does, let your doctor know before you start using it. You may need more frequent monitoring of your INR after starting the supplement or whenever it is discontinued, and appropriate adjustments made in your dosage if necessary. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including other nutritional supplements and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
