HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ashwagandha 1000 mg by Remedys Nutrition
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: organic ashwagandha at 1000 mg per capsule. Ashwagandha is an herb from traditional Ayurvedic medicine used to help with stress, sleep, and anxiety.
The capsule itself is vegan.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Ashwagandha has possibly effective evidence for insomnia, anxiety, stress, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The science behind it is still early — these ratings mean there's some promise in the research, but we need more solid studies.
For bipolar disorder, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works. If you're considering it for sleep or everyday worry, the data suggests it might help, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether it fits your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Ashwagandha is generally well tolerated in the short term for healthy adults, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects — diarrhea, stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting — don't usually happen at typical doses.
Drowsiness has been reported. Rare but serious cases of liver damage have been linked to ashwagandha, and there's one case report of reversible brain inflammation with bleeding in someone taking it alongside other medications.
During pregnancy, ashwagandha is considered likely unsafe due to a traditional concern about miscarriage risk — avoid it. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information, so it's best to skip it.
If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on immune-suppressing drugs, sedatives or benzodiazepines, blood pressure medication, diabetes medication, thyroid hormone replacement, or any drugs that are hard on the liver. These are the main Moderate-severity concerns.
Also flag any medications broken down by the liver enzyme CYP1A2.
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.
Ashwagandha may help with sleep, anxiety, and stress if the early research holds up for you — but it interacts with a lot of medications, especially sedatives, blood pressure drugs, diabetes drugs, immune suppressants, and thyroid hormones. Check your exact prescriptions with the tool on this page, and talk to your pharmacist before you start, especially if you're on multiple medications or have liver concerns.

Ashwagandha 1000 mg by Remedys Nutrition Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Ashwagandha 1000 mg by Remedys Nutrition has documented interactions with a substantial number of medications.
The most serious concern is with drugs that suppress your immune system (immunosuppressants). Ashwagandha appears to boost immune activity, which could reduce how well these medications work — a Moderate severity risk.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
You'll also want to check if you take sedating drugs. Ashwagandha itself has sedative effects and may add to the drowsiness caused by benzodiazepines (like Valium or Klonopin), barbiturates, or other sedatives and anxiety medications — all Moderate severity.
Similarly, if you're on blood pressure medication (antihypertensive drugs), ashwagandha might lower your blood pressure further, raising the risk of dizziness or fainting (Moderate). It may also increase the effect of thyroid hormone replacement, potentially causing symptoms like rapid heartbeat or tremor (Moderate).
Additionally, ashwagandha could theoretically lower blood sugar more than intended if you're taking diabetes medications, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) — a Moderate concern. There's a Moderate risk with drugs that are hard on the liver (hepatotoxic drugs), since ashwagandha itself has been linked to liver problems in rare cases.
Finally, ashwagandha may reduce levels of certain medications processed through a liver enzyme called CYP1A2 — a Minor interaction.
Altogether, these interactions span 1,351 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your exact prescriptions before starting.

For each ingredient in Ashwagandha 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.
organic Ashwagandha
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
There is preliminary clinical evidence suggesting that ashwagandha might lower blood glucose levels. Theoretically, ashwagandha might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research suggests that ashwagandha might lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Theoretically, ashwagandha might have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs and increase the risk of hypotension.
Benzodiazepines
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might increase the sedative effects of benzodiazepines.
There is preliminary evidence that ashwagandha might have an additive effect with diazepam (Valium) and clonazepam (Klonopin). This may also occur with other benzodiazepines.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might increase the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
Ashwagandha seems to have sedative effects. Theoretically, this may potentiate the effects of barbiturates, other sedatives, and anxiolytics.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver damage.
Ashwagandha has been linked to cases of acute hepatitis, liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, autoimmune hepatitis, the need for liver transplantation, and death due to liver failure.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might decrease the effects of immunosuppressants.
Ashwagandha has demonstrated immunostimulant effects in humans. Animal research has shown that ashwagandha can attenuate the immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide.
Thyroid Hormone
Ashwagandha might increase the effects and adverse effects of thyroid hormone.
Concomitant use of ashwagandha with thyroid hormones may cause additive therapeutic and adverse effects. Preliminary clinical research and animal studies suggest that ashwagandha boosts thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion. In one clinical study, ashwagandha increased triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) levels by 41.5% and 19.6%, respectively, and reduced serum TSH levels by 17.4% from baseline in adults with subclinical hypothyroidism.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, ashwagandha might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ashwagandha extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, ashwagandha might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ashwagandha extract induces CYP3A4 enzymes.
Serotonergic Drugs
Some animal studies have reported that ashwagandha can enhance serotonergic transmission by altering certain serotonin (5-HT) receptors. However, there is no evidence to suggest that ashwagandha increases the risk of serotonin-related effects, and there have been no published case reports of serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic drugs. Nevertheless, due to the lack of extensive studies on the matter and the fact that ashwagandha appears to affect serotonergic pathways, it would be prudent to exercise caution when combining it with drugs that affect serotonin.
