L-Carnitine - any down side for a senior woman taking it?

[Warpy]

7. Eliquis has a list of drug interactions as long as your arm

but L-carnitine doesn't seem to be among them. Still, it would be wise to call your doctor or ask your pharmacist about this.

L-carnitine does have an additive effect to warfarin (Coumadin) and dicurmarol (USAN), so don't take it if you're on either of those.

The literature around L-carnitine has too many weasel words* in it for my taste, but if your doc/pharmy gives you the OK, it is unlikely to hurt you, it's naturally occurring in small amounts in meat and fish and is made in our own brains, livers, and kidneys.

*could, might, can, may, should...you get the picture. I always say if there is little chance it will hurt you, it's worth a try. Just find out first, and not from people online.
