Safety at a glance
Medium riskWe set this score by hand, against the drug labels, NIH pages and published studies, in place of the AI-written analysis's own. Our interaction rules still check every page and can only make a result stricter, never milder. Informational only: it can't account for your medications, conditions, or genetics.
What the AI-written analysis says
Combining fenugreek with warfarin may pose risks due to potential interactions affecting blood coagulation. Caution is advised, and monitoring is essential.
Warfarin is a prescription medication. This page describes publicly documented interactions — it can't see your dose, your other prescriptions, or your labs. Discuss any supplement with the prescriber or pharmacist who manages this medication before combining.

Watch out for
- One published case describes a rising INR in a person on warfarin who was taking fenugreek and boldo among a variety of natural products: the INR returned to normal a week after she stopped the suspected products, and the rise came back when fenugreek and boldo were started again. Memorial Sloan Kettering's herb guide says case reports indicate fenugreek may increase bleeding risk with warfarin. A three-month trial of fenugreek found no effect on platelet clumping, fibrinogen or the body's clot-dissolving activity, but it did not measure INR, so the evidence for this pair is thin. The warfarin label says to check INR more often when starting or stopping botanicals. Tell the anticoagulation clinic or prescriber before starting or stopping fenugreek, and expect INR to be checked more often around the change. Do not change the warfarin dose on your own.
