Feverfew
Feverfew — was die europäische Monographie tatsächlich stützt, wofür es nicht ist, Form und vorgesehene Dauer, Nebenwirkungen und die 2 Arzneimittelwechselwirkungs, die dafür dokumentiert sind.
Das ist eine Referenzseite, keine Diagnose und kein Rezept. Pflanzliche Produkte sind echte Pharmakologie: sie haben Wirkungen, Nebenwirkungen und Wechselwirkungen mit Arzneimitteln. Sagen Sie Arzt und Apotheker alles, was Sie einnehmen, einschließlich Tees und Nahrungsergänzung, und setzen Sie nie ein verordnetes Mittel wegen etwas ab, das Sie hier lesen.
Was es ist
Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Sch.Bip. — herb (Tanaceti parthenii herba)
Hier gruppiert unter Joints, urinary tract and hormones. Regulatorische Lage:EU-Kräutermonographie — traditionelle Anwendung.
Was die Evidenz stützt
Die registrierte Indikation:Prophylaxis of migraine headaches, after serious conditions have been excluded by a doctor.
The wording of feverfew's registration is the most instructive thing about it. It is a preventive taken daily over months, not something to swallow during an attack, and the indication explicitly requires that a doctor has first excluded serious causes of headache. The trial evidence is inconsistent: a Cochrane review of feverfew for preventing migraine found the evidence insufficient to establish an effect, with the better-conducted trials the least encouraging. Two practical details set it apart. Chewing fresh leaves, the old folk method, causes mouth ulcers and soreness in a substantial share of people. And stopping abruptly after months of use has been described as producing a rebound of headache, anxiety, stiffness and poor sleep — so if you stop, taper.
C — Traditional use only Plausible from thirty or more years of use, which is what a traditional-use registration means. No clinical evidence was required and none has settled it.
Wofür es nicht ist
Treating a migraine attack, and any new, sudden, severe or changed headache, headache with fever and a stiff neck, or headache after a head injury — those need urgent assessment.
Form, Stärke und wie lange
Dried leaf in capsules and tablets, sometimes standardised to parthenolide content, which varies widely between products. Fresh leaf chewing is the traditional method and the one that ulcerates mouths.
Dauer.Prophylaxis is judged over months, not days. Taper rather than stop abruptly after long use.
Auf dieser Seite erscheint absichtlich keine Grammzahl. Pflanzenteil, Extraktionsmittel und Droge-zu-Extrakt-Verhältnis definieren zusammen eine Zubereitung, und eine Zahl aus einer beschreibt eine andere nicht. Die Begründung steht auf dem Hub; die Menge, die für Sie gilt, steht auf der Packung in der Hand, und ein Apotheker liest sie mit Ihnen.
Nebenwirkungen
Mouth ulceration and tongue soreness from fresh leaf. Stomach upset, bloating. Allergic reactions in daisy-family (Asteraceae) sensitive people.
Wer es meiden sollte
Not in pregnancy — feverfew has traditional use as a uterine stimulant — and not while breastfeeding. Most registrations are for adults only.
Wechselwirkungen mit Arzneimitteln
| Arzneimittel oder Substanz | Was beschrieben wird |
|---|---|
| Anticoagulants and antiplatelets (warfarin, DOACs, aspirin, clopidogrel) | Feverfew appears on the bleeding-risk list. Evidence is limited to laboratory work and case reports, and the caution is standard rather than proven. |
| Anti-inflammatory painkillers (NSAIDs) | Regular anti-inflammatory painkillers are the other common ingredient in a migraine cupboard, and medication-overuse headache is a far more frequent cause of daily headache than most people taking them realise. |
Die umgekehrte Sicht — vom Arzneimittel statt von der Pflanze — steht in der Referenz zu Arzneimittel-, Nahrungs- und Alkoholwechselwirkungen, und für jedes Kraut auf dieser Seite zusammengefasst.
