While the risk is generally low for healthy individuals, it becomes more significant if you are already taking blood-thinning medications or have an upcoming surgery.

Why this happens
Both devil's claw and ginger can interfere with how your blood clots. Ginger can prevent blood cells (platelets) from sticking together, while devil's claw may also have mild anticoagulant (blood-thinning) effects. When used together, these effects can add up, making your blood take longer to clot.
What you should do
It is usually fine to take these together in standard food or supplement amounts if you are healthy. However, you should stop taking both at least two weeks before any scheduled surgery or dental work. If you notice unusual bruising, nosebleeds, or bleeding gums, stop using them and speak to your doctor. Do not combine these supplements if you are already taking prescribed blood thinners like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel without medical supervision.

Can I take Esomeprazole and Magnesium together?
Taking esomeprazole for a long time (usually more than three months) can lower the levels of magnesium in your blood. This can lead to symptoms like tiredness, muscle spasms, or an irregular heartbeat. Additionally, if you take magnesium as an antacid or supplement at the same time as esomeprazole, it might slightly interfere with how well the medicine is absorbed.
