Use with caution: - Use with caution when taken alongside non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as gastrointestinal irritation may be additive. - Caution is advised when using with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) due to a theoretical risk of serotonin syndrome. - Patients on antihypertensive agents should monitor blood pressure, as feverfew may have mild vasodilatory effects. - If you are on hormonal contraceptives, discuss with a clinician, although no strong interaction is documented.
