HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Feverfew 1520 mg by NusaPure

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 whole plant extract at 1520 mg per capsule. Feverfew is a plant used traditionally for headaches and inflammation.

The capsule also holds inactive ingredients—cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice flour—which are fillers and binders that help hold the supplement together.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: migraine and headache support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Tension headache, migraine, fever, joint pain.
  • The closest evidence on file: Feverfew is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Tension headache (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for feverfew's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. Studies on tension headaches, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and prurigo nodularis (a chronic skin condition) all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate it—meaning the research either isn't there yet or isn't strong enough to call it proven.

If you're thinking about using it for one of these conditions, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence fits your situation.

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 in the short term, but some people have allergic reactions or mouth irritation. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal—abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, heartburn, and nausea.

Chewing fresh feverfew leaves is more likely to cause mouth ulcers and tongue irritation than taking a commercial capsule like this one. One thing to know: if you've been taking feverfew long-term and stop, you may experience "post-feverfew syndrome"—anxiety, headaches, and insomnia—so don't stop abruptly without talking to your doctor first.

During pregnancy, feverfew is possibly unsafe because it may stimulate the uterus and its safety hasn't been established. There isn't enough reliable safety data for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any medications processed by your liver's CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP3A4, or CYP2C8 enzymes (Moderate severity risk)—this covers a very large number of drugs. If you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin, feverfew may increase your bleeding risk and should not be combined without medical oversight.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Feverfew 1520 mg might appeal to someone interested in a traditional herb for headaches or inflammation, but the evidence for it working isn't strong enough to call it proven. The bigger concern is that it may slow how your liver clears a wide range of medications, raising their levels in your blood.

If you take any prescription drugs—especially blood thinners—you need to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding this to see if it's safe for your situation.

Feverfew 1520 mg by NusaPure: Common Questions

Does Feverfew 1520 mg by NusaPure interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Feverfew 1520 mg 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 1520 mg 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 to take while I'm pregnant?
No. Feverfew is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus and its safety hasn't been proven. Don't use it during pregnancy—check with your doctor or pharmacist for safer options.
What are the most common side effects?
Gastrointestinal upset is most likely: abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, heartburn, and nausea. Some people also get a skin rash. Mouth ulcers and tongue irritation are more common if you chew fresh feverfew leaves, not if you take a capsule like this one.
Can I stop taking feverfew anytime, or do I need to taper it?
If you've been taking feverfew for a long time, stopping abruptly can trigger "post-feverfew syndrome"—anxiety, headaches, and insomnia. Don't stop suddenly; talk to your doctor or pharmacist about how to stop safely.
Does feverfew actually work for headaches?
The research doesn't show enough reliable evidence to call it proven for tension headaches. The data we hold rates it as insufficient evidence, so we can't say it works—talk with your doctor about what the evidence really supports for your headache type.
What's in this capsule besides the feverfew extract?
The capsule contains cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice flour. These are inactive ingredients—fillers and binders that help hold the supplement together. The active ingredient is the feverfew extract itself.
