From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains a single active ingredient: agrimony, a plant traditionally used in herbal medicine. The capsule also holds gelatin as an inactive ingredient to hold the herb together.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Agrimony product and its label doesn't state a use — see Agrimony's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

We don't have effectiveness data on file for agrimony in our database. That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means the evidence we hold isn't established enough to rate it.

If you're considering it for a specific purpose, your pharmacist can point you toward what research does exist.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Agrimony is generally used in food-like amounts when brewed as a tea, but human safety data are limited, so use it with care. The safety data advise against taking it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Agrimony may be worth a conversation if you're interested in herbal support—but if you take diabetes medication, check with your pharmacist first. Pregnant or nursing?

Skip it until you've talked with your doctor or pharmacist.

Agrimony by Maine Coast Herbals: Common Questions

Does Agrimony by Maine Coast Herbals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Agrimony has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Agrimony contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this while pregnant?
The safety data advise against it. There isn't enough information to know whether agrimony is safe during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it and talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're thinking about using it.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking agrimony?
Safety while breastfeeding hasn't been studied, so the recommendation is to avoid it to be cautious. Chat with your pharmacist or doctor if you have questions.
What is agrimony used for?
Agrimony is a plant used in herbal medicine traditions, often brewed as a tea. We don't have effectiveness ratings on file for what it's meant to treat, so I'd recommend talking with your herbalist or pharmacist about its traditional uses and what the current evidence supports.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
We don't have adverse effects documented in our data. That said, human safety data are limited since agrimony is mostly used in food-like amounts, so keep an eye on how you feel and let your pharmacist know if anything seems off.
Can I take this with my diabetes medication?
There's a documented moderate-risk interaction: agrimony has blood sugar–lowering effects, so it could raise the risk of low blood sugar if you're already on diabetes drugs. Check your exact medications with the tool on this page, and talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether it's safe for you.
