HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Feverfew 0.7% Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: feverfew extract in powder form, standardized to 0.7% strength. Feverfew is a plant traditionally used for headache relief.

The product has no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Feverfew product and its label doesn't state a use — see Feverfew's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for feverfew's effectiveness is insufficient. The data we hold shows that tension headaches, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and a skin condition called prurigo nodularis have all been studied, but reliable evidence to confirm that feverfew actually works for any of these is not yet available.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Feverfew

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Feverfew is generally well tolerated when taken short-term, though some people experience gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, and heartburn. Chewing fresh feverfew leaves is riskier than using prepared supplements and can cause mouth ulcers, tongue irritation, and swollen lips.

Skin rash may occur in sensitive people. One important note: if you stop taking feverfew after long-term use, you may experience "post-feverfew syndrome" — anxiety, headaches, and insomnia.

Feverfew is not recommended during pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus and its safety isn't established. There isn't enough reliable safety information to use it while breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Feverfew

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Feverfew.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 930 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel), check with your doctor or pharmacist first — feverfew may raise your bleeding risk. Additionally, medications broken down by your liver through CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C8, or CYP3A4 pathways may build up to higher levels, though this hasn't been confirmed in humans yet.

Use the medication checker below to look up your exact prescriptions.

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.

Feverfew may help with certain headaches, but the evidence isn't solid yet. The main concern is its potential to increase bleeding risk with blood thinners and other medications your liver processes.

If you take any prescription drugs or blood thinners, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — they can check your specific medications against this supplement.

Feverfew 0.7% Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Feverfew 0.7% Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Feverfew 0.7% Extract Powder has a known interaction with 929 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Feverfew 0.7% Extract Powder contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is feverfew safe during pregnancy?
No — the safety data advises against it during pregnancy because feverfew may stimulate the uterus and its safety hasn't been established. Talk with your doctor if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking feverfew?
There isn't enough reliable safety information available, so it's best avoided while breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
What side effects might I experience?
The most common are gastrointestinal: nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, and heartburn. Some people get skin rashes. If you chew fresh feverfew leaves instead of taking a prepared powder, you risk mouth ulcers and tongue irritation. Stopping after long-term use may cause post-feverfew syndrome — anxiety, headaches, and insomnia.
Can I stop taking feverfew whenever I want?
After long-term use, stopping suddenly may trigger post-feverfew syndrome, which includes anxiety, headaches, and insomnia. If you've been taking it for a while, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about how to stop safely.
Does feverfew really work for headaches?
The evidence isn't strong enough yet. Our data shows that tension headaches have been studied, but we don't have reliable proof that feverfew actually helps.
