According to my references, the only drugs that may possibly pose a
contraindication are drugs used to treat glucose imbalances (hypoglycemia,
diabetes), due to fenugreek's possible hypoglycemic effects.
A couple good drug/herb interaction references are:
Drug-Herb-Vitamin Interactions Bible, by Harkness & Bratman (Prima Health)
A-Z Guide to Drug-Herb-Vitamin Interactions, by Lininger (also Prima Health)
Herb Contraindications and Drug Interactions, by Brinker (Eclectic Medical
Publications)
