HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bacopin 100 mg by Botanic Choice
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
Bacopin 100 mg is a single-ingredient supplement: bacopa extract at 100 mg per capsule. Bacopa is a plant traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine; the extract concentrates its active compounds.
The capsule also contains rice flour, gelatin, and magnesium stearate as inactive ingredients to hold it together.
Does it work?
Not established
The effectiveness data we hold for bacopa shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for Alzheimer disease, cognitive function, cognitive impairment, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), back pain, or sexual dysfunction. That means the studies available don't yet establish whether it works for these uses — not that it doesn't work, but rather that we don't have solid proof one way or the other.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Bacopa is generally well tolerated in research studies, though long-term safety data are limited and the quality varies. The most common side effects reported are abdominal cramps, diarrhea, dry mouth, headache, and nausea.
Some people have also reported drowsiness, insomnia, or vivid dreams. Gastrointestinal side effects (cramps, bloating, gas, diarrhea, appetite changes) show up in about 12 to 30 percent of study participants.
Not enough safety data exist during pregnancy — the evidence advises against use. The same applies to breastfeeding: there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Bacopin, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take medications processed by liver enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP3A4 — a broad group that includes many blood thinners, heart drugs, diabetes medications, and statins. Also double-check if you're on anticholinergic or cholinergic drugs, cevimeline (Evoxac), or thyroid hormone replacement.
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 help with memory and brain function, but the evidence we have isn't strong enough yet to say for certain it works. The main caution is its potential to slow how your liver clears many common medications — blood thinners, heart drugs, diabetes pills, and others — which could raise their levels in your blood.
Before you start, run your medications through the checker on this page and talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

Bacopin 100 mg by Botanic Choice Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Bacopin 100 mg from Botanic Choice contains bacopa extract, which has documented interactions with medications that rely on your liver to be broken down.
Altogether, these interactions span 931 individual medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The main concern is with drugs metabolized by liver enzymes called CYP450 — specifically CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 substrates. Bacopa may slow how your liver clears these medications, potentially raising their levels and side effects.
The evidence is mixed — some lab studies show this effect, others don't — so we can't predict how much of a real-world impact this will have for you personally. Common medications in these categories include some blood thinners, heart drugs, diabetes medications, and statins.
Two more specific concerns: bacopa may interfere with anticholinergic drugs (used for bladder control, motion sickness, and other conditions) and cholinergic drugs by working in opposite ways. There's also a case report of someone taking cevimeline (Evoxac, a medication for dry mouth in Sjögren syndrome) who developed tremors, nausea, rapid heart rate, and sweating hours after taking bacopa — symptoms that resolved within two days.
Additionally, bacopa may have mild additive effects with thyroid hormone replacements.

For each ingredient in Bacopin 100 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.
Bacopin extract
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%.
