Do Blood Thinners lower Red Blood Cell Count?

[Jakey]

Hi Guys.
Can anyone please give me guidance. Do blood thinning tablets reduce Red Blood Count?

 

[Vince]

No, It prevents your blood from clogging, it does not reduce red blood cells

 

[Jakey]

Thank you. Much appreciated

Is there anything that will reduce red blood cell count?

Making sure you have no sleep apnea and avoid smoking.
I know a Grapefruit will lower HCT. But it will also have your body store other meds that you are on. So too much meds in your system.
