HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Celery Seed 500 mg Maximum Strength by Swanson
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: celery seed at 500 mg per capsule. The inactive ingredients are rice flour, gelatin, and magnesium stearate.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence we have for celery doesn't establish that it works for the conditions listed here — sexual dysfunction, anxiety, headache, depression, diabetes, and indigestion — so we can't tell you it's effective for any of them. That said, clinical research does suggest that celery seed extract may lower daytime systolic blood pressure by roughly 12 mmHg compared to placebo, though that's not a use listed on this product.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Celery is generally well tolerated when taken orally, but there are a few things to know. Allergic reactions are possible — they can range from itching and burning in the mouth (oral allergy syndrome) to serious ones like anaphylaxis in sensitive people.
The supplement may also make your skin more sensitive to sun exposure, particularly if you're already prone to photosensitivity. In pregnancy, medicinal amounts of celery seed should be avoided because it may affect the uterus; food amounts are likely okay.
There isn't enough reliable data on celery supplements while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided during that time too.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this celery seed product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants/antiplatelet drugs), antidepressants like venlafaxine, thyroid medication (levothyroxine), lithium, blood pressure drugs, pain relievers like acetaminophen, drugs metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP1A2, or photosensitizing medications. These are Moderate to Minor interactions documented in our data.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Consider this supplement if you're curious about celery seed for blood pressure, but the evidence for other uses listed here isn't established. Be especially cautious if you take blood thinners, antidepressants, thyroid medication, or lithium — those interactions are worth checking with us first.
If you have a known celery allergy or are pregnant, skip it. Talk to your pharmacist before starting.

Celery Seed 500 mg Maximum Strength by Swanson Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Swanson's Celery Seed 500 mg Maximum Strength contains one active ingredient — celery — that interacts with a number of medications.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulants/antiplatelet drugs) like warfarin or aspirin. Celery root contains compounds that may slow blood clotting, which could raise your bleeding risk if you're already on these drugs.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Celery also affects how your body handles several other medications. It may increase levels of certain antidepressants (venlafaxine/Effexor), some pain relievers (acetaminophen/Tylenol), and drugs metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP1A2 — potentially boosting their effects and side effects.
It could lower the effectiveness of thyroid medication (levothyroxine/Synthroid) and may increase lithium levels. On top of that, it can add to the blood-pressure-lowering effect of antihypertensive drugs, and it may raise your skin's sensitivity to sun exposure if you're taking photosensitizing drugs.
Although these effects are mostly theoretical and haven't been proven in humans, one case report exists of a patient on venlafaxine who developed medication-induced bipolar symptoms after starting celery root extract. Altogether, these interactions span 651 individual medications.
Before you start this supplement, run your medications through the checker below — especially if you take blood thinners, antidepressants, thyroid medication, or lithium.

For each ingredient in Celery Seed 500 mg Maximum Strength with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Celery
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, celery root might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
Celery root contains the constituents falcarinol and falcarindiol. Laboratory research suggests that these constituents can inhibit platelet aggregation. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, celery seed extract might have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
Clinical research suggests that taking celery seed extract may reduce daytime systolic blood pressure by about 12 mmHg compared to less than 1 mmHg with placebo.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, celery might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro and animal research suggests that constituents of celery can inhibit CYP1A2. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)
Theoretically, celery seed might decrease the effects of levothyroxine.
Several cases of hypothyroidism with low T4 levels have been reported in people who were previously stabilized on levothyroxine and then started taking celery seed tablets. They presented with symptoms such as lethargy, bloating, and dry skin, and recovered when celery seed was stopped. However, celery stem and leaf has been associated with case reports of hyperthyroidism in patients with no pre-existing thyroid disorders.
Lithium
Theoretically, celery might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium due to potential diuretic effects.
Celery is thought to have diuretic properties. However, this effect has not been confirmed in humans.
Venlafaxine (Effexor)
Theoretically, celery root extract might increase blood levels of venlafaxine.
There is one case report of a patient who experienced medication-induced bipolar disorder after beginning to take celery root extract 1000 mg daily along with venlafaxine 75 mg and St. John's wort 600 mg daily. Symptoms included confusion, speech abnormalities, manic affect, and visual hallucinations. The plasma level of venlafaxine was 476.8 ng/mL (normal range 195-400 ng/mL). It is theorized that celery root increased venlafaxine levels by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2D6.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Others)
Theoretically, celery juice might increase the effects and side effects of acetaminophen.
Animal research suggests that concomitant use of celery juice plus acetaminophen prolongs the effects of acetaminophen. This effect has been attributed to a decrease in hepatic cytochrome P450 activity. However, other animal research shows that pretreatment with celery root extract protects against acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure. These effects have not been reported in humans.
Photosensitizing Drugs
Theoretically, celery might increase the risk of photosensitivity reactions when taken with photosensitizing drugs.
Laboratory research shows that celery contains photosensitizing agents such as phenols and psoralens.
