HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bacopa 1200 mg by Bronson
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 is a capsule containing 1,200 mg of bacopa herb extract, powder, and it is the only active ingredient listed. The data we hold does not describe its specific role beyond its use as the product's main ingredient.
The inactive ingredients are modified cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide. These are fillers and binders that help form and hold the capsule together.
Does it work?
Not established
Bacopa has been reviewed for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), back pain, cognitive function, and cognitive impairment. For every one of these, the rating is Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate.
In plain terms, the evidence that bacopa helps with any of these conditions is not established in the data we hold.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Bacopa is generally well tolerated in studies, but the quality and long-term safety data are limited. Reported side effects include drowsiness, headache, insomnia, and vivid dreams, and the most common are digestive, such as abdominal cramps, diarrhea, dry mouth, and nausea.
Adverse gastrointestinal events have ranged from 12% to 30% in the reports we hold. Our safety notes advise avoiding bacopa during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, because there is not enough safety information to say more.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering either, talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check liver-enzyme drugs (CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 substrates), anticholinergic drugs, cholinergic drugs, and cevimeline, all rated Moderate. Thyroid hormone is rated Minor.
Use the search tool on this page to check your exact medications, and confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist before combining.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Bacopa may be worth discussing with your doctor if you are considering it for memory or cognition, since the evidence for those uses is not established. If you take any medication that is cleared by liver enzymes, takes effect through acetylcholine, or affects thyroid hormone, be especially careful and get personalized advice first.
Please review this with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Bacopa 1200 mg by Bronson Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Bronson's Bacopa 1200 mg interacts with a number of medications, all through its bacopa herb extract, the product's only active ingredient.
Theoretically, it might raise the levels and side effects of drugs cleared by certain liver enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 substrates). Each of these four drug groups is rated Moderate, and the evidence is conflicting, so the real-world effect is unclear.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Bacopa may also counteract anticholinergic drugs, which block certain nerve signals, and may add to cholinergic drugs, which boost them. Both are rated Moderate because bacopa seems to raise acetylcholine levels.
Cevimeline, a drug for dry mouth from Sjogren syndrome, is also rated Moderate; in one reported case, sweating, nausea, and a racing heart followed a single dose of bacopa and resolved after two days. Thyroid hormone is rated Minor and the concern is theoretical, based on animal research.
Altogether, these interactions span 933 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Bacopa 1200 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.
Bacopa, Powder
Anticholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, concurrent use might decrease the effectiveness of both agents.
Bacopa seems to inhibit acetylcholinesterase and might increase acetylcholine levels, which could counteract the effects of anticholinergic drugs. Similarly, anticholinergic drugs might counteract the cholinergic effects of bacopa.
Cevimeline (Evoxac)
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the effects and adverse effects of cevimeline.
In one case, a 58-year-old female taking cevimeline long-term for Sjogren syndrome experienced hyperhidrosis, malaise, nausea, and tachycardia shortly after taking a single dose of bacopa. Symptoms resolved after two days. Cevimeline is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and CYP3A4, and researchers theorize that bacopa may have inhibited these isoenzymes. However, it is unclear if bacopa causes clinically significant inhibition of either CYP2D6 or CYP3A4.
Cholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, concurrent use of bacopa with other cholinergic drugs might have additive effects.
Bacopa seems to inhibit acetylcholinesterase and might increase acetylcholine levels. Theoretically, this could result in additive cholinergic effects when used with cholinergic drugs.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
Research on the effects of bacopa extracts on CYP1A2 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence shows that bacopa extract can moderately and non-competitively inhibit CYP1A2, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and non-competitively inhibit CYP2C19 enzymes. It is not known whether this is clinically significant.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
Research on the effect of bacopa extracts on CYP2C9 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and non-competitively inhibit CYP2C9, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
Research on the effects of bacopa extracts on CYP3A4 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and competitively inhibit CYP3A4, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Thyroid Hormone
Theoretically, bacopa might have additive effects when used with thyroid hormone.
Animal research suggests that bacopa increases thyroxine (T4) levels in mice by about 40%.
