Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Butternut product and its label doesn't state a use — see Butternut's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

We don't have effectiveness ratings on file for butternut in our data. If you're considering it for digestive support or regularity, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the evidence shows and whether it's right for you.

How safe is it?

Well-documented data

  • 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.

Butternut is generally well tolerated by mouth, though it can cause diarrhea and gastrointestinal irritation, including cramping or digestive upset. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because laxative herbs may not be safe and information is limited.

Butternut Bark Glycerite Liquid Extract5 drug types · 122 drugs

Corticosteroids

Butternut has stimulant laxative effects. Theoretically, concomitant use of corticosteroids with butternut can increase the risk of potassium depletion.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Butternut has stimulant laxative effects. Theoretically, potassium depletion associated with butternut might increase the risk of digoxin toxicity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Butternut has stimulant laxative effects. Theoretically, overuse of butternut might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss. There is some concern that people receiving butternut along with potassium-depleting diuretics might be at an increased risk for hypokalemia.
Some diuretics that can deplete potassium include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, Hydrodiuril, Microzide), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Stimulant Laxatives

Butternut has stimulant laxative effects. Concomitant use with stimulant laxative medications might compound fluid and electrolyte loss.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Butternut has stimulant laxative effects. In some people butternut can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding. Advise patients who take warfarin not to take excessive amounts of butternut.
