Resveratrol and Warfarin, a caution.

Resveratrol inhibits CYP2C9, the main enzyme that clears the more potent S-enantiomer of warfarin, and also inhibits BCRP-mediated efflux. In animal models this raises plasma warfarin AUC and significantly increases INR. Resveratrol additionally inhibits platelet COX-1 and thromboxane A2, adding a pharmacodynamic bleeding risk. Combined effects can amplify warfarin's anticoagulation.

Caution

What is happening. Resveratrol inhibits CYP2C9, the main enzyme that clears the more potent S-enantiomer of warfarin, and also inhibits BCRP-mediated efflux. In animal models this raises plasma warfarin AUC and significantly increases INR. Resveratrol additionally inhibits platelet COX-1 and thromboxane A2, adding a pharmacodynamic bleeding risk. Combined effects can amplify warfarin's anticoagulation.

Mechanism. Resveratrol and its conjugated metabolites inhibit CYP2C9 and BCRP, increasing S-warfarin systemic exposure. Independently, resveratrol inhibits platelet COX-1 and thromboxane A2 generation, adding antiplatelet activity to warfarin's anticoagulation.

Recommendation. Avoid resveratrol supplements (typically 100-500 mg/day) while on warfarin. If you choose to take it, keep the dose constant and ask your anticoagulation clinic to recheck INR within 1-2 weeks of starting or stopping.
