HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Andrographis 600 mg by Solaray
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
Full disclosure
This product contains 2 active ingredients. The main one is andrographis — a plant extract from a traditional herb — plus andrographolides, which are the active compounds isolated from andrographis.
Together they make up the 600 mg dose per capsule. The product also contains inactive ingredients: cellulose, chicory, rice extract blend, and silica, which are fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Andrographis is possibly effective for ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease), tonsillopharyngitis (sore throat and tonsil inflammation), and osteoarthritis (joint wear). The evidence for familial Mediterranean fever is too thin for us to rate it.
If you're considering this for one of those conditions, talk to your pharmacist about what the research actually shows and whether it fits your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Andrographis is generally well tolerated when you take it short-term, but we don't have solid long-term safety data, and product quality varies. The most common side effects are stomach discomfort, changed taste, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting, itching, and rash.
Headache and fatigue are more likely at higher doses. Serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis are rare.
You should also know that skin reactions — rashes, itching, hives — have been frequently reported, and in rare cases severe ones like Stevens-Johnson syndrome or skin peeling have occurred. Do not take this during pregnancy because animal studies and theory suggest risks to reproduction.
Avoid it while breastfeeding too, since we don't have enough safety data.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this, check your exact medications against these drug types: blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (highest concern for bleeding risk), blood pressure medications, and immunosuppressants. Also double-check if you're on etoricoxib (Arcoxia), celecoxib (Celebrex), or glipizide (Glucotrol).
Use the search tool on this page with your prescription list.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Andrographis might help if you have a sore throat, ulcerative colitis, or osteoarthritis, but the evidence is modest. If you take blood thinners, blood pressure drugs, immunosuppressants, or certain anti-inflammatory or diabetes medications, check with your pharmacist first.
Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it.
If you're generally healthy and not on those drug types, it's usually tolerated well short-term, but watch for rashes or GI upset.

Andrographis 600 mg by Solaray Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Solaray's Andrographis 600 mg contains an andrographis extract that interacts with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs) — andrographis may increase your bleeding risk at a Moderate severity level, because animal and lab studies suggest it has blood-thinning effects of its own.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
You'll also want to check if you take blood pressure drugs (antihypertensives). Andrographis might lower your blood pressure further, which could be a problem if your dose is already calibrated.
Similarly, if you take immunosuppressants — drugs that calm down your immune system — andrographis may interfere with them, since research shows it can stimulate immune activity. All three of these are Moderate severity.
There are also Minor interactions with three specific medications: etoricoxib (Arcoxia, an anti-inflammatory), celecoxib (Celebrex, another anti-inflammatory), and glipizide (Glucotrol, a diabetes drug). The exact clinical impact isn't clear, but absorption or concentration levels may shift.
Altogether, these interactions span 407 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Andrographis 600 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Andrographis
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, andrographis might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Animal and laboratory studies suggest that andrographis has antiplatelet effects.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, andrographis might increase the risk of hypotension when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research suggests that andrographis has hypotensive effects.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, andrographis might interfere with the effects of immunosuppressive drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that andrographolide has immunostimulant activity.
Celecoxib (Celebrex)
Theoretically, andrographis extract might increase the maximum concentration and time to peak concentration of celecoxib. The clinical significance of these changes is unclear.
Animal research suggests that andrographis extract taken orally increases the maximum concentration and time to peak concentration of celecoxib but does not appear to impact the area under the curve.
Etoricoxib (Arcoxia)
Theoretically, andrographis might decrease the absorption of etoricoxib, although the clinical significance is unclear.
Animal research shows that andrographis extract, or the constituent andrographolide, taken orally with etoricoxib decreases the bioavailability of etoricoxib. However, this reduced bioavailability is not correlated with a reduction in the anti-inflammatory effects of etoricoxib in arthritic mice models. The clinical significance of this interaction is unclear.
Glipizide (Glucotrol)
Theoretically, andrographis extract might increase the maximum concentration and area under the curve of glipizide; however, opposite effects are seen with the constituent, andrographolide. The clinical significance of this interaction is unclear.
Animal research suggests that andrographis extract taken orally with glipizide in diabetes-induced rats increases the maximum concentration and area under the curve of glipizide. However, the opposite effect is seen with the constituent, andrographolide, in which the maximum concentration and area under the curve are decreased when taken with glipizide.
