HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Headache Complex by TerraVita
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
Low disclosure
This liquid contains 2 active ingredients: white willow and feverfew, both in glycerite liquid extract form. Glycerin is listed as an inactive ingredient.
White willow has traditionally been used for pain and inflammation, while feverfew is commonly taken for headache support. The product comes as a liquid formulation, which means the ingredients are dissolved or suspended in a glycerin base for easier absorption.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence on feverfew for tension headaches is insufficient to establish how well it works—we cannot say whether it is effective based on the data we hold. The same is true for its use in other conditions like psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, or prurigo nodularis.
If headache relief is your goal, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product makes sense for you or what other options exist.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Feverfew is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth short-term, though a small number of people experience allergic reactions or mouth irritation. Common side effects include abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, heartburn, and nausea; a skin rash can occur in sensitive individuals.
Chewing fresh feverfew leaves is more likely to cause mouth ulcers and other mouth problems than commercial preparations. One important caution: stopping feverfew after long-term use may trigger "post-feverfew syndrome," marked by anxiety, headaches, and insomnia.
Feverfew is possibly unsafe in pregnancy—it may stimulate the uterus and its safety is not established. There is not enough reliable safety information for breastfeeding, so it is best avoided.
We hold no safety data on white willow.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your medications against this product if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel (Moderate risk of increased bleeding). Also verify any drugs metabolized by liver enzymes CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP1A2, or CYP2C8, as feverfew may raise their blood levels (all Moderate severity).
Use the interaction checker on this page with your exact medication list, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist before combining.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is for people exploring feverfew for headache support who do not take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or medications metabolized by liver enzymes. Because the effectiveness evidence for tension headaches is insufficient and multiple drug interactions are possible, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—especially if you take any prescription medications, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or plan to use it long-term.

Headache Complex by TerraVita Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
TerraVita's Headache Complex contains feverfew, which interacts with a substantial range of medications.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (Moderate severity)—feverfew may increase bleeding risk when combined with these medications, though human cases remain rare. Additionally, feverfew may theoretically increase blood levels of drugs metabolized by several liver enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP1A2, and CYP2C8), all rated Moderate severity.
These interactions are based on laboratory research; they have not yet been reported in people, but the potential exists. We could not check white willow for interactions—we hold no data on it.
Altogether, these interactions span 930 individual medications.

Before you start this product, use the interaction checker on this page to look up your exact medications. If you take blood thinners like warfarin, any antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin or clopidogrel, or medications metabolized by the liver enzymes listed above—which includes many common drugs—talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding feverfew to your routine.

Feverfew Glycerite Liquid Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, feverfew might have additive effects and increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that feverfew may inhibit platelet aggregation. Additionally, in one case report, a 36-year-old patient taking feverfew 2400 mg daily for 3 months experienced vaginal bleeding and a prolonged menstrual cycle, with a modest increase in partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and prothrombin time (PT).
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, feverfew might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Laboratory research shows that feverfew might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, feverfew might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
