I am sure this has come up before, but I haven't been able to find an answer. My aorta valve and aortic stem were replaced on August 4th. My INR seems stable, and I don't take any other medication. I would like to take a vitamin supplement, but don't want to take anything that might jeopardizes my good fortune so far with my INRF levels.

Can anyone recommend an over the counter daily vitamin supplement appropriate for someone taking coumadin? Thanks in advance

A standard multivitamin is what my doctor advised... just no Vitamin K!

I buy Walgreen's house brand with Iron.

I take One-A-Day Essentials. They have a good variety of vitamins and no vitamin K. They are also small which is good for anyone (like me) who has problems with large pills.
