    There are a few others such as:
    Plavix
    Aggrenox (a combination of aspirin and dipyridamole)
    ticlodipine
    Most of the "natural" blood thinners contain a form of aspirin (salicylates)
    Curry powder
    Cayenne pepper
    Ginger
    Paprika
    Thyme
    Cinnamon
    Dill
    Oregano
    Turmeric
    Licorice
    Peppermint
    peanuts
    some fruits

    Yes.
    Aspirin and plavix are anti platelet agents and not considered anticoagulants as they don't affect the coagulation cascade.
    All other anticoagulants are either IV or subcutaneously administered.
