Clinically Relevant Interaction Between Warfarin and Scuppernongs, a Quercetin Containing Muscadine Grape: Continued Questions Surrounding Flavonoid-induced Warfarin Interactions
Overview
Affiliations
We present a case of clinically relevant and probable interaction between warfarin and scuppernongs in a 73-year-old woman where ingestion of scuppernongs, a variety of quercetin-containing muscadine grapes, over a period of 2 months was associated with elevations in the International Normalised Ratio to supratherapeutic levels. While muscadine grapes and specifically scuppernongs are found primarily in Southeastern USA, the flavonoid in questionand quercetin is found worldwide as a dietary supplement.
