Red Raspberry + Clomiphene

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Red Raspberry and Clomiphene in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Red Raspberry and Clomiphene

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Clomiphene and Red Raspberry in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Clomiphene

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Clomiphene is filed under a single classification — oral drugs. Red Raspberry has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate) and insulin (moderate) — and none of Clomiphene’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Red Raspberry and Clomiphene May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on Additional detail

Special populations

Red Raspberry in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Likely Safe

When the fruit is used orally in amounts commonly found in foods.

Pregnancy Possibly Safe

When red raspberry leaf is used orally and appropriately in medicinal amounts during late pregnancy under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Red raspberry leaf is used by nurse midwives to facilitate delivery. There is some evidence that red raspberry leaf in doses of up to 2.4 grams daily, beginning at 32 weeks' gestation and continued until delivery, can be safely used for this purpose. Make sure patients do not use red raspberry leaf without the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Pregnancy Likely Unsafe

When red raspberry leaf is used orally in medicinal amounts throughout pregnancy or for self-treatment. Red raspberry leaf might have estrogenic effects. These effects can adversely affect pregnancy. Tell pregnant patients not to use red raspberry leaf at any time during pregnancy without the close supervision of a healthcare provider.

Lactation Likely Safe

When the fruit is used orally in amounts commonly found in foods. There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of red raspberry leaf; avoid using.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Clomiphene

This page covers Red Raspberry only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Clomiphene page lists 17 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), European Mandrake (moderate), Glucomannan (moderate) and Guar Gum (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 7 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Clomiphene page

“Clomiphene (Clomid, Serophene) is taken as a short, precisely timed course to trigger ovulation, so anything that weakens a dose can cost someone trying to conceive a whole cycle. That is why the 17 supplements listed here deserve genuine care, since every one of them can change how much of the pill the gut actually absorbs.”

About Red Raspberry

What is Red Raspberry?

  • Pregnancy and labor support
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Digestive upset and diarrhea
  • Sore throat and mouth rinse
  • Antioxidant support

Red raspberry leaf is a traditional herbal remedy most often used as a tea in late pregnancy and for menstrual discomfort, but solid scientific evidence for these uses is limited. It is generally considered well tolerated by most adults, but pregnant people should talk with their doctor or midwife before using it.

Rubus idaeus · Rosaceae · Leaves and fruit · Tea, capsules, tablets, dried leaf, liquid extract

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Red Raspberry is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Red Raspberry record says about it on its own.

Red Raspberry: dosing

There is no official or standardized dose for red raspberry leaf. It is most commonly taken as a tea made from dried leaves, and also comes in capsules, tablets, and liquid extracts.Because products vary in strength, the best approach is to follow the directions on the product label.

From our Red Raspberry monograph — the full record covers uses, side effects and every documented interaction.

About Clomiphene

What Is Clomiphene Used For?

Brand names: Serophene, Clomid

Clomiphene tablets are indicated for women who are not ovulating normally and want to become pregnant. It is most likely to help women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome, psychogenic amenorrhea, post-oral-contraceptive amenorrhea, and certain cases of secondary amenorrhea (absent periods of unknown cause).

Before starting treatment, other barriers to pregnancy — such as thyroid disorders, adrenal disorders, high prolactin levels, or male factor infertility — must be ruled out or treated. Clomiphene is not recommended for use in combination with other ovulation-inducing drugs or for IVF programs, and it is not approved for treating male infertility.

Taking Red Raspberry and Clomiphene Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Red Raspberry with Clomiphene?
We do not list a known interaction between Red Raspberry and Clomiphene. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Red Raspberry and Clomiphene have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Red Raspberry and Clomiphene combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Clomiphene is filed under 1 classification, and Red Raspberry has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Clomiphene's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Red Raspberry interact with any other medications?
Yes. Red Raspberry has 135 documented drug interactions in our database — Clomiphene is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Clomiphene interact with any supplements?
Yes. Clomiphene has documented interactions with 17 supplements in our database — Red Raspberry is not one of them. The Clomiphene interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
