HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Asafoetida Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic asafoetida powder extract, a resin traditionally used in herbal medicine. The liquid also includes vegetable palm glycerin and Hawaiian artesian water as inactive ingredients.

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 Asafoetida product and its label doesn't state a use — see Asafoetida'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 hold effectiveness ratings for asafoetida in our data, so we can't tell you what the evidence says it works for. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, your pharmacist can point you toward what research exists.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Asafoetida

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.

Asafoetida in food amounts appears to be generally well tolerated, but medicinal doses haven't been well studied. At higher doses, some people report belching, gas, diarrhea, headache, swelling of the lips, or in rare cases convulsions.

Doses of 50–100 mg have triggered headache or convulsions in some reports. There are also rare reports of a serious blood condition called methemoglobinemia in infants exposed to asafoetida, including one documented case in a 3-month-old.

Don't use medicinal amounts during pregnancy—the safety data advises against it. The same goes for breastfeeding; there isn't enough information to know it's safe at supplement doses, so skip it while nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Asafoetida

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 — Asafoetida.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 289 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 your blood pressure medications and any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin or ibuprofen) with the search tool on this page—both interact at Moderate severity.

certified organic Asafoetida powder extract2 drug types · 289 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, asafoetida might increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs. Some anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn, others), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Evidence from animal research suggests that asafoetida has hypotensive effects. Theoretically, concomitant use may increase therapeutic effects of antihypertensive therapy due to hypotensive activity of asafoetida. Some antihypertensive drugs include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), Amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril), furosemide (Lasix), and many others.
