Blood thinners

Please no judgement! 😭😂 So I’m currently on blood thinning injections but it’s my birthday and my friend has brought me an edible (in cake form for those wondering 🎂). Can I safely consume this or will it have an affect alongside the blood thinners? I’ve had an operation on my ankle and had screws and plates put in. I’m currently 8 days post op and I want to be as careful as possible. Some have said edibles are safe after surgery. But I’m more concerned about the affect it could have alongside the injections.

Smoking increases your chance of a blood clot but I've never heard that about an edible so I'd say you're good to go, stay hydrated!

I did look it up though apparently if you're on warfrin specifically it has a bad interaction

@Olivia I did try doing a bit of googling but there wasn’t really much evidence on it. One website just repeated the same thing about 3 times in different ways. Like when a teacher says ‘don’t copy it from the website, put it on your own words’. So I didn’t trust that site 😂😂😂

@Olivia so far I’m okay! 😂😂
