適當使用人參不會減弱抗凝血劑Warfarin的效果

Adequately Taking Ginseng does not Reduce the Efficacy of Anticoagulation of Warfarin

許多心血管疾病患者因為要長期控制凝血功能而在服用Warfarin，有動物實驗發現人參可能會降低Warfarin的抗凝血效果，因此許多醫師會建議病患避免服用。臨床研究顯示，心臟瓣膜置換病患與缺血性中風患者，若在醫師的監控下服用人參並不會降低Warfarin的抗凝血效果。但對於健康人而言，合併使用Warfarin和西洋參則可能會抑制抗凝血。

Several patients with cardiovascular disease take Warfarin for a long time to regulate blood coagulation. Some animal studies revealed that taking Ginseng may inhibit the efficacy of anticoagulation of Warfarin. Consequently, many doctors very often advise their patients not to take it. However, clinical studies revealed that taking Ginseng does not inhibit anticoagulation of Warfarin for those patients who have valve replacement surgery or ischemic stroke under the supervision of their doctors. By contrast, taking Warfarin in combination with Xiyangshen may inhibit anticoagulation for healthy people.
