HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chamomile Extract 800 mg Veg Capsules by BulkSupplements.com
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: chamomile flower extract at 800 mg per capsule. The capsule itself is made from hypromellose, a plant-derived material that holds the extract together.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for chamomile in the uses we have data for — allergic rhinitis (hay fever), cancer-related appetite loss, sexual dysfunction, and anxiety — is insufficient to rate. That means the studies so far aren't strong enough to say whether it works for these purposes.
If you're considering it for one of these reasons, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence supports a trial.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Chamomile is generally well tolerated by most adults. The main safety concern is allergic reactions, especially if you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants — reactions can range from mild (itching, watery eyes, sneezing) to severe (anaphylaxis).
When applied to skin or used as a mouth rinse, it may occasionally cause allergic dermatitis, eczema, nausea, or mouth burning. There isn't enough reliable safety data to recommend chamomile during pregnancy, so it's best avoided unless your doctor approves.
For breastfeeding, safety data are limited — check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin or other blood thinners (Moderate risk), any sedating medications like sleep aids or opioids (Moderate risk), drugs metabolized by CYP2D6, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 enzymes (Moderate risk), oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy (Moderate risk), or tamoxifen (Moderate risk). Large amounts of chamomile are most likely to cause problems.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Chamomile extract may appeal to anyone looking for a mild herbal option, but you'll want to be cautious if you take sedating medications, blood thinners like warfarin, hormonal contraceptives, hormone therapy, or tamoxifen. If you have a ragweed allergy, proceed carefully and watch for any allergic signs.
Before starting, sit down with your own doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's right for your medications and health situation.

Chamomile Extract 800 mg Veg Capsules by BulkSupplements.com Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Chamomile Extract 800 mg by BulkSupplements.com does interact with medications through its chamomile flower extract.
The most serious concern is warfarin (a blood thinner), where chamomile has been linked in a case report to increased bleeding risk and dangerously high blood-thinning levels.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Chamomile can theoretically amplify the effects of sedating medications (CNS depressants) — drugs like sleep aids, anxiety medications, and opioids — because chamomile itself has mild sedative properties. It may also slow how your liver breaks down certain medications metabolized through the CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 pathways, potentially raising their blood levels.
Large amounts might also interfere with oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy (estrogens) by competing for estrogen receptors, and could theoretically reduce tamoxifen's effectiveness in cancer treatment.
Altogether, these interactions span 961 individual medications. Before you start this product, run your exact medications through the checker below — especially if you take blood thinners, sedating drugs, hormonal birth control, hormone therapy, or tamoxifen.
