Kratom inhibits multiple enzymes such as CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP1A2. Some anticoagulant and blood thinner medications, Rivaroxaban for example, rely on the CYP3A4 enzyme as a major metabolic pathway. Those on these medications who are considering taking kratom should be aware of this and I belive blood thinner / anticoagulants should be added to the list of interations. What does the community think?

I'm not sure if this edit qualifies as a dangerous interaction, and it certainly is not for all opiates so how would this edit be made to be specific to kratom. What does the community think?
