Interactions & contraindications

Fenugreek (Klabet)

Full profile
  • Pre-surgery — discontinue at least 2 weeks prior (potential antiplatelet effect)
  • Hormone-sensitive conditions (breast/ovarian cancer, endometriosis) — phytoestrogenic activity possible
  • Diabetes medications — may enhance hypoglycaemic effect; monitor blood glucose closely

Pregnancy

Use Caution

Fenugreek is a well-known uterine stimulant traditionally used to help induce labor — generally avoided earlier in pregnancy, though small culinary/food amounts are usually considered lower risk than concentrated supplements.

Breastfeeding

Likely Safe

One of the most widely used herbs to support milk supply; a distinctive maple-syrup body/sweat odor in both parent and infant is a harmless, well-known side effect.

Children

Use Caution

Culinary amounts in food are generally fine; concentrated supplements can affect blood sugar and aren't typically given to young children without guidance.

Diabetes medications

Additive blood-sugar-lowering effect — monitor glucose closely.

Blood thinners

Mild antiplatelet activity.
