HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chamomile Flower 700 mg by Nature's Way
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: German chamomile flower at 700 mg per capsule. Chamomile is a flowering plant traditionally used to promote relaxation.
The capsule also contains hypromellose, an inactive ingredient that serves as the capsule material.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we hold does not establish how well chamomile works for any of the conditions listed—hay fever, cancer-related loss of appetite, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, and ADHD all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That means the research we have isn't robust enough to say whether it's effective for these uses.
If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current evidence actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Chamomile is generally well tolerated by most adults. The main concern is allergic reactions, especially if you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants—severe reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported in rare cases.
Topical use can cause allergic skin reactions and eczema, and as an oral rinse some people have experienced nausea and mouth burning. During pregnancy, there isn't enough reliable safety data, so it's best avoided unless your doctor approves.
While breastfeeding, safety data are limited—check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start, double-check with your pharmacist if you take warfarin or any blood thinner—this is the most serious concern. Also important: CNS depressants (sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, sedating pain relievers), any drug metabolized by liver enzymes CYP2D6, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 (a very long list), birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, or tamoxifen.
No interactions are documented for ingredients we couldn't check, but use the tool below to verify your exact medications.
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.
Chamomile tea or capsules appeal to many people looking for relaxation, but if you take warfarin, sedating medications, or drugs metabolized by your liver, this product needs a careful check first. Pregnant people should avoid it unless a doctor gives the go-ahead.
Run your medications through our checker, and talk to your pharmacist if you're on anything that might be affected.

Chamomile Flower 700 mg by Nature's Way Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Chamomile Flower 700 mg by Nature's Way does interact with several types of medications, and the interaction profile warrants a close look before you start.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The most serious documented concern involves warfarin (a blood thinner). German chamomile has been reported in at least one case to increase warfarin's blood-thinning effects, leading to serious bleeding.
If you take warfarin, this product is not safe without your doctor's explicit approval.
Moderate interactions are documented with CNS depressants (sedating drugs like benzodiazepines and sleep aids), where chamomile's mild sedative effects could add to theirs. Additionally, chamomile may slow how your body clears certain medications by inhibiting three major liver enzymes (CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4), potentially raising drug levels.
In theory, large amounts could also reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, and tamoxifen (a breast cancer drug) through competition for estrogen receptors—though these remain theoretical concerns without human case reports.
Altogether, these interactions span 961 individual medications. Use the medication checker below to run through any prescriptions or over-the-counter drugs you're taking before you add this supplement.
