HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Arjuna Powder by Herbal Hills
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
Arjuna Powder by Herbal Hills is a single-ingredient product containing Arjuna powder — the dried bark and fruit of the Terminalia arjuna tree, a plant used in Ayurvedic medicine. There are no inactive ingredients listed in this formulation.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we hold for Arjuna does not establish its effectiveness. Studies have not provided reliable evidence to rate it for obesity, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), high blood pressure (hypertension), or angina (chest pain).
If you're considering it for one of these conditions, talk with your doctor about treatments with proven benefit.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Arjuna has been generally well tolerated in short-term studies, but long-term safety data are sparse and product quality can vary. The safety information available is not sufficient to recommend it during pregnancy — the data advises against use if you are pregnant.
Similarly, there isn't enough data to know if it's safe while breastfeeding, so avoid it during lactation or talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Arjuna, double-check your medications for interactions. The main concerns are drugs broken down by your liver's CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 enzymes (a very broad group including antidepressants, statins, and many pain relievers), blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, diabetes medications, chlorzoxazone (a muscle relaxer), and omeprazole (a heartburn medication).
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before combining Arjuna with any of these.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.
Arjuna Powder is a single-herb supplement with no established evidence for obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or heart pain. It interacts with a broad range of medications by slowing how your liver clears them, and it can thin your blood.
If you take any prescription drugs — especially blood thinners, diabetes medications, or any regular prescription — check your medications with the tool on this page and discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Arjuna powder monograph & interactionsArjuna Powder by Herbal Hills Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Arjuna Powder by Herbal Hills contains one active ingredient — Arjuna powder (Terminalia arjuna) — which interacts with a significant number of medications.
The most serious concern is with drugs that depend on your liver's cytochrome P450 enzymes to work properly. Arjuna can slow down how your liver breaks down these medications, which may raise their levels in your blood and increase the risk of side effects.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Specifically, Arjuna may affect three major enzyme systems: CYP2D6 substrates (used in many antidepressants, heart medications, and pain relievers), CYP2C9 substrates (including certain blood thinners and anti-inflammatory drugs), and CYP3A4 substrates (a broad category covering statins, immunosuppressants, and many others). Additionally, Arjuna can thin your blood — in lab studies it inhibits platelet clumping — so combining it with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) raises bleeding risk.
It may also lower blood sugar, which could intensify the effects of diabetes medications and increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Two specific drugs of concern are chlorzoxazone (a muscle relaxer) and omeprazole (a heartburn medication); animal research shows Arjuna can raise their blood levels.
Altogether, these interactions span 934 individual medications. Before starting Arjuna, use the interaction checker on this page to search your exact prescriptions, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

Arjuna powder
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of Terminalia arjuna with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs may increase the risk of bleeding in some patients.
In vitro, Terminalia arjuna bark extract inhibits platelet aggregation, decreases platelet activation, and shows antithrombotic properties.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of Terminalia bellirica or Terminalia chebula with antidiabetes drugs could affect blood sugar control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal and in vitro research shows that Terminalia bellirica and Terminalia chebula fruit and seed extract have hypoglycemic effects.
Chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex)
Theoretically, use of Terminalia chebula may increase the risk of adverse effects from chlorzoxazone.
Animal research shows that enteral administration of Terminalia chebula for 15 days prior to administration of chlorzoxazone increases blood levels of chlorzoxazone and decreases chlorzoxazone clearance. It is speculated that Terminalia chebula reduces the metabolism of chlorzoxazone by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2E1.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP2C9 enzymes and reduces CYP2C9 substrate metabolism.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP2D6 enzymes and reduces CYP2D6 substrate metabolism.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes and reduces CYP3A4 substrate metabolism.
Omeprazole (Prilosec)
Theoretically, use of Terminalia chebula may increase the risk of adverse effects from omeprazole.
Animal research shows that enteral administration of Terminalia chebula for 15 days prior to administration of omeprazole increases blood levels of omeprazole and decreases omeprazole clearance. It is speculated that Terminalia chebula reduces the metabolism of omeprazole by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2C19.
