HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Celery Seed by Pure
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
Pure Celery Seed is a single-ingredient supplement — you're getting celery in capsule form. The inactive ingredient is just the gelatin capsule itself.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for celery seed's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. The product is marketed for sexual dysfunction, anxiety, headache, depression, diabetes, and indigestion, but our sources rate all of these as having insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Celery seed is generally well tolerated as a food, but concentrated supplements carry a couple of cautions. Allergic reactions are the main concern — symptoms can range from itching and burning in your mouth to, rarely, anaphylactic shock (a severe whole-body reaction).
If you've had oral allergy syndrome or any celery allergy before, this product isn't for you. The data also advises against medicinal amounts during pregnancy because celery may affect the uterus, though regular food amounts are probably okay.
We don't have enough reliable information on celery supplements while breastfeeding, so it's best to skip this product if you're nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), levothyroxine (Synthroid), lithium, venlafaxine (Effexor), or blood pressure medications. The interactions are theoretical but documented at Moderate severity.
Also mention any CYP1A2 substrates, photosensitizing drugs, or acetaminophen you're taking.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take blood thinners, thyroid medication, lithium, an antidepressant like Effexor, or blood pressure drugs, check with your pharmacist before starting this. If you have any history of celery allergy, avoid it entirely.
Otherwise, run your medications through the checker on this page to be sure.

Celery Seed by Pure Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Pure Celery Seed has documented interactions with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs) — celery root contains compounds that lab research suggests can slow clotting, which theoretically could raise your bleeding risk if you're already on these medications. This is rated Moderate severity.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Celery also interacts with a few other drug categories at Moderate severity: CYP1A2 substrates (a group of drugs your liver breaks down in a specific way — lab work suggests celery might raise their levels), lithium (used for mood disorders — celery's diuretic properties could theoretically reduce how your kidneys clear it), levothyroxine or Synthroid (thyroid hormone — there are case reports of people's thyroid levels dropping after they started celery seed), venlafaxine or Effexor (an antidepressant — one case report linked celery extract to mood changes when combined with this drug), and blood pressure medications (celery seed extract itself may lower blood pressure, so adding it could drop your reading too far). There's also a Minor interaction with photosensitizing drugs and acetaminophen.
Altogether, these interactions span 651 individual medications. Use the medication checker below to look up your exact prescriptions before you start this product.

For each ingredient in Celery Seed 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.
