HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Barley Grass 500 mg by Thompson
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 has one active ingredient: organic barley at 500 mg per tablet. The inactive ingredients are cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silica — standard tablet binders and flow agents.
Barley is a whole grain that's been used as both a food and a supplement. In this concentrated form, you're getting the nutrient profile of barley in a single dose.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Barley has strong evidence behind it for two uses: it's likely effective for lowering cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and for supporting heart health in coronary heart disease. The data we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for other conditions, though barley has been studied for various other uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Barley as a food is well tolerated and safe for most people. The supplement form, though, hasn't been studied as thoroughly — especially in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
The main caution is that barley contains gluten, which can trigger reactions in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Common side effects from barley supplements are mild: bloating, gas, abdominal distension, and an unpleasant taste.
Allergic reactions are rare but possible in sensitive individuals — symptoms can range from tingling around the mouth and lips to angioedema (swelling under the skin), hives, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis. If you have a history of cereal allergies or asthma triggered by grain dusts, mention this before starting.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist before taking this if you're on triclabendazole (Egaten), an antiparasitic medication — barley may reduce how well it works. No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're looking to support cholesterol and heart health, barley has solid evidence behind it. Skip this if you take triclabendazole, or talk with your pharmacist about timing.
Not suitable if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on the concentrated supplement form — talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Barley Grass 500 mg by Thompson Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Thompson's Barley Grass 500 mg contains one active ingredient — organic barley — which has a documented interaction with one medication.
Barley may reduce how well triclabendazole (Egaten), an antiparasitic drug, works in your body. Animal research suggests barley can lower the amount of triclabendazole your system absorbs when you take them together, though this hasn't been proven in humans yet.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Additionally, no interactions are documented with other medication types in our data. That said, barley does contain gluten, which matters if you're sensitive to it.

For each ingredient in Barley Grass 500 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Dietary Fiber
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Lithium
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might reduce lithium absorption and plasma levels. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Metformin (Glucophage)
Theoretically, black psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Animal research shows that concurrent consumption of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases the absorption of metformin. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was concomitantly administered with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption and decrease digoxin levels.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.
Ethinyl Estradiol
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. This is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Oral Drugs
Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.
organic Barley
Triclabendazole (Egaten)
Theoretically, barley might decrease the clinical effects of triclabendazole.
Animal research suggests that a diet supplemented with barley can reduce the bioavailability of triclabendazole when taken concomitantly. This effect has not been shown in humans.
