Good morning, I have undergone central pulmonary embolism and I take xarelto 20mg so it begs the question whether I can consume YerbaMate? Thanks in advance for your reply

Yerba mate contains caffeine. Caffeine can slow down blood clotting, so taking yerba mate together with anticoagulants, which include Xarelto, may increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. Drinking yerba mate is not strictly contraindicated, however, special care should be taken. Moderation in the amount of drunk yerba mate is indicated. If you experience any disturbing symptoms, such as nosebleeds or an increased tendency to bruise, seek medical advice.
