LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods. Asafoetida has Generally Recognized As Safe status (GRAS) for use in foods in the US (4912).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately in medicinal amounts (12).
CHILDREN: UNSAFE
when used orally in infants due to the possible risk of methemoglobinemia (4,102549).
PREGNANCY: LIKELY UNSAFE

Theoretically, asafoetida might increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (4). Some anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn, others), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Evidence from animal research suggests that asafoetida has hypotensive effects (4,32480). Theoretically, concomitant use may increase therapeutic effects of antihypertensive therapy due to hypotensive activity of asafoetida. Some antihypertensive drugs include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), Amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril), furosemide (Lasix), and many others.

General ...Orally, asafoetida appears to be generally well tolerated. Large amounts of asafoetida have been reported to cause swelling of the lips, belching, flatulence, diarrhea, headache, or convulsions (18). There are reports of infantile methemoglobinemia associated with asafoetida (4,102549). Topically, asafoetida has been reported to cause genital organ swelling (18).
Dermatologic ...Orally, large amounts of asafoetida have been reported to cause swelling of the lips (18).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, large amounts of asafoetida have been reported to cause belching, flatulence, and diarrhea (18).
Genitourinary ...Topically, genital organ swelling was reported after application of asafoetida to the abdomen (18).
Hematologic ...Orally, asafoetida has been associated with methemoglobinemia in infants (4,102549). In one case, a 3-month-old boy who was given asafoetida gum resin for colic presented with tachypnea, hypoxia, and tachycardia. The child had very high methemoglobin levels and other markers consistent with metabolic acidosis with lethal methemoglobinemia. The child was intubated and treated with 100% oxygen plus supportive measures and eventually made a full recovery (102549).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, asafoetida in doses of 50-100 mg has been reported to cause headache or convulsions (18).
