If you are currently being treated with any of the following medications, you
should not use feverfew without first talking to your healthcare provider.
Blood-thinning medications
Feverfew can inhibit the activity
of platelets (a substance that plays a role in blood clotting), so individuals
taking blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin and warfarin) should consult
a healthcare practitioner before taking this herb.
NSAIDs
Although specific interactions between feverfew and
conventional medications have not been adequately researched, a potential
interaction with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as
ibuprofen, has been identified and may result in decreased effectiveness of
these medications. The opposite may be true as well –
namely, that NSAIDs can render feverfew ineffective.
