HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Baicalin 500 mg by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs

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

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product has one active ingredient: Scutellaria Root Extract, a powder from skullcap root. The capsule also contains several inactive ingredients — pullulan, rice powder, bamboo extract, and rice extract blend — which are fillers and binders that help hold the capsule together.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Skullcap's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: safe and effective Scutellaria extract.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Insomnia, Stress, Nervous tension, Relaxation, Sleep quality.
  • The closest evidence on file: Skullcap is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Skullcap is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Stress.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that skullcap works for the conditions it's traditionally used for — epilepsy, stress, stroke, spasticity, contact dermatitis, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). All six carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence, which means the research so far isn't robust enough to say whether it helps.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Skullcap

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.

Skullcap is often used short-term, but safety data is limited and product quality varies — use with care. The most common side effects reported are sedation, cognitive impairment (trouble thinking clearly), and digestive upset.

In a trial, mild digestive disturbances showed up in a small number of participants taking a higher dose for two weeks, and one person on a very high dose reported vivid dreams, though it's unclear if skullcap caused that. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement.

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 — Skullcap.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 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 you start, check any CNS depressants you take — sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs, certain pain relievers, and similar medications. Skullcap can add to their drowsy or mind-clouding effects.

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.

Skullcap has a long history in herbal medicine, but the scientific evidence for its effectiveness isn't established yet. The main concern is its interaction with sedating medications — if you take anything that makes you drowsy or slows your thinking, check with us first.

Not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Baicalin 500 mg by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs: Common Questions

Does Baicalin 500 mg by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Baicalin 500 mg has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Baicalin 500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this help with anxiety or sleep?
The evidence we hold isn't strong enough yet to say skullcap helps with stress or sleep problems. All the traditional uses we could rate showed insufficient reliable evidence.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it during both pregnancy and breastfeeding. There isn't enough information to know it's safe, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
What are the side effects?
The most common ones are sedation, trouble thinking clearly, and digestive upset. A small number of people in trials reported mild digestive disturbances. One person on a very high dose had vivid dreams, though it's unclear if the supplement caused that.
Is it okay to take this with my sleep medication?
No — check with your pharmacist first. Skullcap can add to the drowsy and mind-clouding effects of sleep aids and other sedating medications. Use our interaction tool on this page to look up your specific drug.
How much should I take?
The product contains 500 mg per capsule. Research suggests that 100 mg didn't cause problems, but 200 mg and higher may cause sedation and cognitive impairment — the facts don't provide dosing guidance, so follow the label or talk with your pharmacist.
