HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Fenugreek Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra
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
Herbal Terra's Fenugreek Alcohol Free contains one active ingredient: fenugreek fruit extract in dried form. Fenugreek is a seed traditionally used to support blood sugar control and sexual function.
The liquid also contains glycerin and water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Fenugreek has possibly effective evidence for sexual dysfunction and sexual arousal, according to the clinical data we hold. It's also possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramping) and diabetes.
That said, 'possibly effective' means the evidence is promising but not yet conclusive — more study is needed to nail down how well it really works for each of those uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Fenugreek is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but supplement doses can cause side effects. The most common ones are abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, indigestion, gas, and nausea.
In rare cases, people have had serious allergic reactions including swelling of the throat, bronchospasm (airway tightening), and shock. Fenugreek can also cause an unusual body odor in both the person taking it and in infants exposed during pregnancy or breastfeeding — this odor can mistakenly resemble maple syrup urine disease but does not appear to cause lasting harm.
Medicinal doses are not advised during pregnancy because fenugreek may affect the uterus. While fenugreek is often used to boost milk supply, the evidence is limited — talk with your doctor or lactation specialist first if you're considering it while breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your medications before starting — especially if you take blood thinners like warfarin or clopidogrel, diabetes drugs, theophylline (for lungs), phenytoin (Dilantin, for seizures), sildenafil (Viagra), or metoprolol (for blood pressure). All these interactions are Moderate in severity.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Fenugreek may help with blood sugar control and sexual function, but it has moderate interactions with blood thinners, diabetes meds, and several other drugs. If you take warfarin, clopidogrel, diabetes medications, theophylline, phenytoin, sildenafil, or metoprolol, check with us before starting.
Avoid medicinal use during pregnancy.

Fenugreek Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Fenugreek Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interacts with a number of medications, and the interactions we have data for are all Moderate in severity.
The main concern is blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs — fenugreek may add to their effects, which could raise your bleeding risk. This includes warfarin (Coumadin) and clopidogrel (Plavix).
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Fenugreek also lowers blood sugar (hypoglycemia), so it can add to the effect of diabetes medications and potentially drop your glucose too far. It may reduce how your body handles theophylline (a lung medication), phenytoin (Dilantin, a seizure drug), and sildenafil (Viagra), making those drugs less effective.
It can also boost the blood-pressure-lowering effect of metoprolol.
Altogether, these interactions span 386 individual medications. Before you start this supplement, use the medication checker on this page to look up anything you're taking — especially blood thinners, diabetes drugs, and any of those others we named.

For each ingredient in Fenugreek Alcohol Free 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.
Fenugreek Fruit Extract, Dry
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, fenugreek might have additive effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Some of the constituents in fenugreek have antiplatelet effects in animal and in vitro research. However, common fenugreek products might not contain sufficient concentrations of these constituents for clinical effects. A clinical study in patients with coronary artery disease or diabetes shows that taking fenugreek seed powder 2.5 grams twice daily for 3 months does not affect platelet aggregation, fibrinolytic activity, or fibrinogen levels .
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, fenugreek seed might have additive hypoglycemic effects when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that fenugreek seed can reduce fasting blood glucose and 2-hour postprandial glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Theoretically, fenugreek seed might alter the clinical effects of clopidogrel by inhibiting its conversion to the active form.
Animal research shows that fenugreek seed 200 mg/kg daily for 14 days increases the maximum serum concentration of clopidogrel by 21%. It is unclear how this affects the pharmacokinetics of the active metabolite of clopidogrel; however, this study found that concomitant use of fenugreek seed and clopidogrel prolonged bleeding time by an additional 11%.
Metoprolol (Toprol)
Theoretically, fenugreek seed might have additive hypotensive effects when used with metoprolol.
Animal research shows that fenugreek seed 300 mg/kg daily for 2 weeks decreases systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 9% and 11%, respectively, when administered alone, and by 15% and 22%, respectively, when given with metoprolol 10 mg/kg.
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
Theoretically, fenugreek might decrease plasma levels of phenytoin.
Animal research shows that taking fenugreek seeds for 1 week decreases maximum concentrations and the area under the curve of a single dose of phenytoin by 44% and 72%, respectively. This seems to be related to increased clearance. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Sildenafil (Viagra)
Theoretically, concurrent use of sildenafil and fenugreek might reduce levels and therapeutic effects of sildenafil.
Animal research shows that taking fenugreek seeds for 1 week reduces maximum concentrations and the area under the curve of a single dose of sildenafil by 27% and 48%, respectively. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Theophylline
Theoretically, fenugreek may reduce the levels and clinical effects of theophylline.
Animal research shows that fenugreek 50 grams daily for 7 days reduces the maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of theophylline by 28% and the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC) by 22%.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, fenugreek might have additive effects with warfarin and increase the international normalized ratio (INR).
Some fenugreek constituents have antiplatelet effects, although these might not be present in concentrations that are clinically significant. In one case report, a patient taking warfarin experienced an increased INR when starting to take fenugreek in combination with boldo.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Fenugreek may also have an additive effect on blood pressure-lowering medications. Studies on animals have shown that fenugreek seed can decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure by up to 22% when combined with metoprolol. Therefore, it is essential to monitor your blood pressure regularly if you are taking fenugreek and metoprolol together or any other antihypertensive drugs.
