With the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases worldwide, and a lack of proper preventive and therapeutic treatment, herbal medicine is frequently used by many people to increase the immune status of the body. We describe a case of a 56 year-old-man stabilized on warfarin (7 mg daily) from 12 years, experienced an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) of 5.45 after the consumption of an Indian traditional herbal drink "kadha" as a precautionary measure to prevent COVID-19 infection.
随着全球新冠病毒肺炎(COVID-19)病例数的增加,且缺乏适当的预防和治疗方法,许多人经常使用草药来增强身体的免疫状态。我们描述了一例56岁男性患者的病例,该患者服用华法林(每日7毫克)已达12年,病情稳定,但在饮用一种印度传统草药饮品“卡达”以预防COVID-19感染后,国际标准化比值(INR)升至5.45。
