bleeding milky way!

Many people regard herbal plants as a safe natural product and routinely consume them for maintenance of healthy life or as home remedies without considering their potential health-threatening side effects. here, we presented manifestations of milk thistle toxicity. the milk thistle’s flavonolignans, especially the silybin ingredient disturb the hemostatic process by dual anticoagulant and anti-platelet properties. this plant can inhibit serine proteases, including factors ii and x as in the coagulation cascade as well as platelet activation by blocking adenosine diphosphate receptor and cyclooxygenase; hence, it causes bleeding diathesis.
