HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Fenugreek Extract 350 mg by Advance Physician Formulas
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: fenugreek seed extract at 350 mg per capsule. Fenugreek is a legume seed used traditionally for various purposes, and this extract concentrates its active compounds.
The capsule also includes several inactive ingredients—cellulose, modified rice flour, maltodextrin, and silicon dioxide—which are fillers and binders that help form and stabilize the capsule.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence we hold shows fenugreek extract is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction, sexual arousal, dysmenorrhea (painful periods), and type 2 diabetes. That means some clinical research supports its use for these purposes, but the evidence isn't yet definitive or robust.
If you're considering it for any of these reasons, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether it fits your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Orally, fenugreek seed is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but supplement doses at this level may cause side effects. The most common ones are abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, indigestion, gas, low blood sugar, and nausea.
Rarely, people have had severe allergic reactions including swelling of the throat (angioedema), narrowing of the airways (bronchospasm), and anaphylactic shock. The supplement may affect the uterus, so medicinal use during pregnancy is not advised.
If you're breastfeeding and interested in fenugreek to boost milk supply, evidence is limited—discuss it with your provider first. One uncommon side effect: fenugreek can cause an unusual body odor in urine and sweat.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start, check your exact medications against fenugreek using the search tool on this page. The main concerns are blood thinners (warfarin, clopidogrel, and other anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), diabetes medications, theophylline, metoprolol, phenytoin, and sildenafil—all at Moderate 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 extract may be worth considering if you're exploring options for sexual function, painful periods, or blood sugar management—but only after you've checked it against your medications with our tool below. If you take any blood thinners, diabetes drugs, heart or seizure medications, or sildenafil, have a pharmacist review it first.
Anyone with a history of allergies to legumes should be cautious.

Fenugreek Extract 350 mg by Advance Physician Formulas Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Advance Physician Formulas' Fenugreek Extract 350 mg contains one active ingredient—fenugreek seed extract—that interacts with a number of medications.
The most serious interactions we have on file are Moderate in severity.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Fenugreek may have additive effects with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs like warfarin and clopidogrel, meaning it could increase bleeding risk. It can also lower blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with diabetes medications, and animal research shows it may reduce the effectiveness of theophylline (a breathing medication) and sildenafil.
Additionally, fenugreek may lower blood pressure more than intended when taken with metoprolol, and it could decrease levels of the seizure medication phenytoin.
Altogether, these interactions span 386 individual medications. Use the medication checker below to look up your exact prescriptions before starting this supplement.

For each ingredient in Fenugreek Extract 350 mg 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 Seed Extract
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.
