HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acne Flormula by TerraVita
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
Acne Flormula contains four active herbal ingredients in glycerite (liquid extract) form: burdock root, dandelion root, sarsaparilla root, and yellow dock root. These are blended together with glycerin as the inactive carrier.
The product is a liquid, so you're getting the herbs in concentrated extract form rather than whole plant material.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that any of these ingredients work for acne or the other conditions they're sometimes used for. Burdock, dandelion, and sarsaparilla all carry ratings of insufficient reliable evidence for their intended uses—meaning there isn't enough solid research to know whether they're effective.
Yellow dock has no effectiveness ratings on file for us. If acne treatment is what you're after, talk with your pharmacist or dermatologist about options with stronger evidence behind them.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Burdock is well tolerated as a food and for short-term use in healthy adults, but human safety data are limited; it's rarely caused allergic reactions including contact dermatitis, and one case of liver damage was reported (though other ingredients may have played a role). Dandelion is generally well tolerated but may cause diarrhea, heartburn, or stomach upset at supplement doses, and can trigger allergies in people sensitive to the ragweed family.
Sarsaparilla has limited safety data for supplement doses. Yellow dock is a mild laxative and contains oxalates; it should be used short-term and with care, and raw leaves or rhizomes may be unsafe.
None of these ingredients have adequate safety data during pregnancy—burdock and dandelion advise against medicinal use, and sarsaparilla and yellow dock are rated possibly unsafe. Breastfeeding safety data are insufficient for all four; yellow dock's laxative compounds may pass into milk.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before starting Acne Flormula, double-check with your pharmacist if you take diuretic drugs (yellow dock poses a Major risk of dangerous potassium loss), digoxin or other heart medications (Major risk of toxicity), blood thinners including warfarin (Moderate to Major risk of bleeding), potassium-sparing diuretics, diabetes medications, lithium, CYP1A2-metabolized drugs, glucuronidated drugs, or fluoroquinolone antibiotics. No interactions are documented for the proprietary blend itself since its components are listed individually.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is not recommended if you take diuretics, heart medications like digoxin, blood thinners, diabetes drugs, lithium, or fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Even if you don't take those, the evidence for acne effectiveness isn't established.
If you're considering it for any reason, check your medications with the tool on this page first, and talk with your pharmacist about safer, better-studied options.

Acne Flormula by TerraVita Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Acne Flormula by TerraVita is a four-ingredient liquid supplement that carries documented interactions with a substantial number of medications.
The most serious concern is yellow dock root, which has Major-severity interactions with diuretic drugs and digoxin (a heart medication). Yellow dock can increase potassium loss when combined with diuretics, and may worsen digoxin toxicity if used long-term or in large amounts.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The other three active ingredients—burdock, dandelion, and sarsaparilla—each have Moderate-severity interactions. Burdock may increase bleeding risk with blood thinners (anticoagulants/antiplatelet drugs).
Dandelion interacts with six drug types: it may raise levels of certain medications metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP1A2, increase potassium to unsafe levels with potassium-sparing diuretics, raise bleeding risk with blood thinners, lower blood sugar more than expected with diabetes drugs, speed clearance of glucuronidated drugs, raise lithium levels through diuretic effects, and lower fluoroquinolone antibiotic levels. Sarsaparilla may increase lithium levels and digoxin toxicity through diuretic effects.
Altogether, these interactions span 520 individual medications. Before you start this product, run your exact medications through the checker below—especially if you take any diuretic, heart medication, blood thinner, diabetes drug, or lithium.

For each ingredient in Acne Flormula with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Dandelion Glycerite Liquid Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, taking dandelion root along with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that dandelion root inhibits platelet aggregation.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion extract may have moderate alpha-glucosidase inhibitor activity and might also increase insulin secretion. Also, in a case report, a 58-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes who was being treated with insulin developed hypoglycemia 2 weeks after beginning to eat salads containing dandelion.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, dandelion might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, until more is known, watch for an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 in patients taking dandelion.
Glucuronidated Drugs
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the clearance of drugs that are UDP-glucuronosyltransferase substrates.
There is some preliminary evidence that dandelion might induce UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, a phase II enzyme.
Lithium
Theoretically, through diuretic effects, dandelion might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that dandelion has diuretic properties. As diuretics can increase serum lithium levels, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when taken with dandelion.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.
Quinolone Antibiotics
Theoretically, dandelion might lower fluoroquinolone levels.
Animal research shows that dandelion reduces absorption of ciprofloxacin and can lower levels by 73%. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.
Burdock Glycerite Liquid Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, taking burdock with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro research shows that lignans from burdock reduce rabbit platelet aggregation by inhibiting platelet activating factor. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Yellow Dock Root Glycerite Liquid Extract
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, yellow dock might increase the risk of digoxin toxicity when used long-term or in large amount.
When yellow dock is used chronically or in large amounts, hypokalemia may occur. This might increase the toxic effects of digoxin.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, yellow dock might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with diuretics.
When yellow dock is used chronically or in large amounts, hypokalemia may occur, and overuse of yellow dock might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, the laxative effects of yellow dock might increase the effects of warfarin, including the risk of bleeding.
The anthraquinones in yellow dock have a mild stimulant laxative effect. Consuming excessive amounts can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding.
Sarsaparilla Glycerite Liquid Extract
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, concomitant use of sarsaparilla with digoxin might increase the risk of cardiac toxicity.
Sarsaparilla is thought to have diuretic properties, which could potentially cause potassium loss. Overuse or misuse of sarsaparilla with cardiac glycoside therapy might increase the risk of cardiac toxicity due to potassium loss.
Lithium
Theoretically, sarsaparilla might increase the effects and adverse effects of lithium.
Sarsaparilla is thought to have diuretic properties. Due to these effects, sarsaparilla might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
