Explanation Required 

  • Some chemicals called phytoestrogens, found naturally in plants, have estrogen-like activity; and some people use these phytoestrogens from dietary sources or from supplements to prevent or treat hormone-related health problems. In test tube studies, the estrogenic activity of one phytoestrogen, formononetin, was blocked by raloxifene. Further research is necessary to determine the overall effect of raloxifene on formononetin and other phytoestrogens in humans.
The Drug-Nutrient Interactions table may not include every possible interaction. Taking medicines with meals, on an empty stomach, or with alcohol may influence their effects. For details, refer to the manufacturers’ package information as these are not covered in this table. If you take medications, always discuss the potential risks and benefits of adding a new supplement with your doctor or pharmacist.
