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 one active ingredient: Andrographis paniculata Leaf Extract in powder form, dosed at 50 mg per serving. Andrographis is a plant used traditionally in Ayurvedic and Southeast Asian medicine.

There are no other inactive ingredients (fillers, binders, or capsule materials) listed for this product.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Liver support.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The research we hold shows andrographis is possibly effective for three conditions: ulcerative colitis (a type of inflammatory bowel disease), tonsillopharyngitis (sore throat with inflammation), and osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear joint damage). For familial Mediterranean fever (a rare inherited inflammatory condition), the evidence is too limited to rate.

If you're considering this for another purpose, the data we have doesn't cover it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Andrographis

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 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.

Andrographis is generally well tolerated when taken short-term by mouth, but long-term safety and the quality of herbal products aren't well established. The most common side effects are stomach discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, fatigue, altered taste, skin rashes, itching, and hives — and they're more likely at higher doses (5–10 mg/kg of the active compound andrographolide) or when you take it for longer than 14 days.

Rare serious effects include severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. The herb has also been linked to severe skin reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome and fixed eruptions, though these are uncommon.

During pregnancy, the safety data advises against use because animal studies and theory raise concerns about reproductive effects. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Andrographis.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 413 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take blood pressure medications, blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, or immunosuppressants — these carry Moderate-severity interaction concerns with andrographis. Also mention it if you take etoricoxib, celecoxib, or glipizide, where Minor interactions are documented.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Andrographis may be worth considering if you have sore throat, inflammatory bowel disease, or joint pain and want a herbal option — but short-term use only until we know more about long-term safety. Be cautious if you take blood pressure, blood-thinning, immune-suppressing, or diabetes medications; check each one with your pharmacist first.

Avoid it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. It's not for everyone, so a quick conversation with us before you start is a good idea.

Andrographis paniculata Leaf Extract, Powder6 drug types · 413 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, andrographis might increase the risk of hypotension when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research suggests that andrographis has hypotensive effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, andrographis might interfere with the effects of immunosuppressive drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that andrographolide has immunostimulant activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Andrographis Paniculata Extract Powder 50 mg by Herbadiet: Common Questions

Does Andrographis Paniculata Extract Powder 50 mg by Herbadiet interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Andrographis Paniculata Extract Powder 50 mg has a known interaction with 413 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Andrographis Paniculata Extract Powder 50 mg 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.
Is andrographis safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Animal studies and theory suggest reproductive risks during pregnancy, so safety data advises against it. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you before you take it.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common are stomach discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, fatigue, taste changes, and skin rashes or itching. These happen more often at higher doses or if you take it longer than 14 days. Rare serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, have also been reported.
How long is it safe to take this?
Andrographis is generally well tolerated short-term, and side effects — especially headache and fatigue — are more likely when you reach doses of 5–10 mg/kg of the active compound or take it for longer than 14 days. Long-term safety isn't well established, so talk with your pharmacist about how long you plan to use it.
Can this help my sore throat or joint pain?
For sore throat (tonsillopharyngitis) and osteoarthritis, the evidence shows andrographis is possibly effective. For ulcerative colitis, it's also possibly effective. If you're considering it for another condition, we don't have effectiveness data for it — ask your pharmacist or doctor whether it's the right choice for you.
I take blood pressure medication. Can I take this at the same time?
Not without checking first. Andrographis may lower blood pressure further, raising the risk of dangerously low pressure. Your pharmacist can review your specific medication and let you know if it's safe to combine them.
Does this powder have any fillers or binders?
No inactive ingredients are listed for this product — it's andrographis extract powder only.
