HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Andrographis Extract 1000 mg by Puritan's Pride
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 one active ingredient: andrographis whole plant extract, 1000 mg per tablet. Andrographis is a plant used traditionally and in clinical research for conditions like sore throat, ulcerative colitis, and joint pain.
The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients—calcium carbonate, cellulose, polyethylene glycol, silica, magnesium stearate, and stearic acid—which are fillers and binders that help form and preserve the tablet.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for andrographis is modest. It's rated possibly effective for sore throat (tonsillopharyngitis), ulcerative colitis, and osteoarthritis based on available research.
For familial Mediterranean fever, the evidence we have is insufficient to rate it one way or the other. If you're considering this product for one of those three conditions, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether the research supports its use for your specific situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Andrographis is generally well tolerated when taken short-term, but long-term safety and product quality aren't well established. The most common side effects are abdominal discomfort, altered taste, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting, itching, and rash—and these are more likely at higher doses (above 5–10 mg/kg of andrographolide) or if you take it for longer than 14 days.
Rarely, severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported. Skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and other serious rashes, have also been documented.
During pregnancy, safety data suggests avoiding andrographis because of theoretical concerns and animal-study findings about reproductive effects. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information, so it's best not to use it.
If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any supplement.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check whether you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) or blood pressure medications—andrographis may increase bleeding risk or lower your pressure further. If you take immunosuppressants (after a transplant, for example) or the pain relievers etoricoxib or celecoxib, or the diabetes drug glipizide, run those through the interaction checker on this page.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Andrographis may help with sore throat, ulcerative colitis, or joint pain, but the evidence is moderate. It's a serious concern if you take blood thinners, blood pressure medications, or immunosuppressants—check your medications first.
Avoid it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Talk to your pharmacist before starting.

Andrographis Extract 1000 mg by Puritan's Pride Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Puritan's Pride Andrographis Extract 1000 mg contains a single active ingredient—andrographis whole plant extract—that interacts with multiple medication categories.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, and others): andrographis may increase your bleeding risk because animal and lab studies show it has antiplatelet effects. This is a Moderate severity interaction.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Andrographis may also lower your blood pressure if you're taking blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), again at Moderate severity. Additionally, it could theoretically interfere with immunosuppressant medications—drugs used after transplants or for certain autoimmune conditions—by stimulating immune activity rather than suppressing it.
These are also Moderate severity.
Minor interactions are documented with three specific drugs: etoricoxib (Arcoxia, a pain reliever), celecoxib (Celebrex, another pain reliever), and glipizide (Glucotrol, a diabetes medication). The clinical significance of these is unclear, but the interaction exists in animal studies.
Altogether, these interactions span 407 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Andrographis Extract 1000 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 Whole Plant Extract
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.
