HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Celandine Grain-Free Alcohol by Eclectic Herb

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: celandine (also called greater celandine), delivered in a grain-free liquid form. The celandine is suspended in alcohol and filtered water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Liver and gallbladder support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Biliary function, Hepatic health, Cholecystitis.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Greater Celandine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dyspepsia (Natural Medicines).

The evidence on celandine is limited. It's considered possibly effective for dyspepsia (indigestion and stomach discomfort), though the data isn't robust.

For cancer, there simply isn't enough reliable evidence to know one way or the other.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Greater Celandine

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.

Celandine is a significant safety concern. Oral use has been linked to serious, sometimes severe liver damage in dozens of reported cases — the damage appears unpredictable and doesn't depend on how much you take.

Cases typically show jaundice and severely elevated liver enzymes. A single case of hemolytic anemia (destruction of red blood cells) has also been reported, leading to blood clots and kidney failure.

Topically, it can cause a rash. Due to known toxicity and lack of safety data, celandine is advised against during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Greater Celandine

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

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 — Greater Celandine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 626 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 take this, double-check if you're on any drugs metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP2D6 (including certain antidepressants and opioids), other medications that stress the liver, immunosuppressants, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). All of these have moderate interaction concerns with celandine.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Celandine interacts with a large number of medications across several categories, and it carries a notable risk of liver damage with oral use. If you're on any prescription medication — especially antidepressants, blood pressure or heart drugs, or immunosuppressants — check with us before starting.

Pregnant or breastfeeding people should avoid it altogether.

Celandine4 drug types · 625 drugs

Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Research in vitro shows that chelidonine, a constituent of greater celandine, inhibits cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) enzyme activity. Theoretically, greater celandine might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 include amitriptyline (Elavil), clozapine (Clozaril), codeine, desipramine (Norpramin), donepezil (Aricept), fentanyl (Duragesic), flecainide (Tambocor), fluoxetine (Prozac), meperidine (Demerol), methadone (Dolophine), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), olanzapine (Zyprexa), ondansetron (Zofran), tramadol (Ultram), trazodone (Desyrel), and many others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

There is some concern that greater celandine can adversely affect the liver. Greater celandine has been linked to many cases of hepatotoxicity. Theoretically, concomitant use with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of developing liver damage. Some of these drugs include acarbose (Precose, Prandase), amiodarone (Cordarone), atorvastatin (Lipitor), azathioprine (Imuran), carbamazepine (Tegretol), cerivastatin (Baycol), diclofenac (Voltaren), felbamate (Felbatol), fenofibrate (TriCor), fluvastatin (Lescol), gemfibrozil (Lopid), isoniazid, itraconazole, (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), leflunomide (Arava), lovastatin (Mevacor), methotrexate (Rheumatrex), nevirapine (Viramune), niacin, nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin), pioglitazone (Actos), pravastatin (Pravachol), pyrazinamide, rifampin (Rifadin), ritonavir (Norvir), rosiglitazone (Avandia), simvastatin (Zocor), tacrine (Cognex), tamoxifen, terbinafine (Lamisil), valproic acid, and zileuton (Zyflo).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Preliminary clinical research suggests that taking a specific semi-synthetic derivative of the greater celandine constituent chelidonine (Ukrain; not available in North America) might stimulate immune responses in cancer patients. Theoretically, taking greater celandine might decrease the effects of immunosuppressive therapy. Immunosuppressant drugs include azathioprine (Imuran), basiliximab (Simulect), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), daclizumab (Zenapax), muromonab-CD3 (OKT3, Orthoclone OKT3), mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf), sirolimus (Rapamune), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), and other corticosteroids (glucocorticoids).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (Maois)

Theoretically taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) with greater celandine might increase the risk of serotonergic side effects including serotonin syndrome. In vitro research shows that chelerythrine, an isoquinoline alkaloid in greater celandine, strongly, selectively, and reversibly inhibits an isoform of recombinant human monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A). It was also a weak but selective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B). Some MAOIs include phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), and others.

Celandine Grain-Free Alcohol by Eclectic Herb: Common Questions

Does Celandine Grain-Free Alcohol by Eclectic Herb interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Celandine Grain-Free Alcohol has a known interaction with 625 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Celandine Grain-Free Alcohol 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.
Is celandine safe to use?
Oral celandine has been linked to serious liver damage in dozens of cases, so it's not recommended for regular use. If you're considering it, talk with your pharmacist first — especially if you have any liver condition or take other medications.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Celandine is advised against during pregnancy because of known toxicity and insufficient safety data. The same applies to breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, speak with your doctor or pharmacist about safer options.
What is celandine actually used for?
Celandine is considered possibly effective for dyspepsia — that's indigestion and stomach discomfort. For cancer, there's not enough reliable evidence to say whether it helps.
What side effects has celandine caused?
The main concern is liver damage, which has occurred in many cases and often shows up as jaundice and very high liver enzymes. Rash is also reported. Rarely, it's caused hemolytic anemia — destruction of red blood cells — which can trigger serious complications like blood clots and kidney failure.
Does celandine interact with blood pressure or antidepressant medications?
Yes. Celandine can slow how your body clears certain antidepressants and blood pressure drugs, potentially raising their levels. It can also interact with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), an older class of antidepressants. Always check your specific medications with a pharmacist before using celandine.
