HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chitrak Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra

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
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 contains one active ingredient: Chitrak Root Extract, Dry (also called Ceylon leadwort root extract). The extract's main compound is plumbagin, which has been studied for various effects in the body.

The liquid also contains glycerin and water as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.

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 Ceylon Leadwort product and its label doesn't state a use — see Ceylon Leadwort'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.

The product carries a label of insufficient reliable evidence for asthma — the main use we have effectiveness data for — meaning the evidence we hold doesn't establish whether it works for that purpose.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ceylon Leadwort

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Ceylon leadwort contains plumbagin, a compound that can irritate your skin and gut, and may be toxic at higher doses. The safety notes flag that it was traditionally used to cause abortion, so it should not be used during pregnancy.

There isn't enough safety information available to recommend it while breastfeeding either.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Ceylon Leadwort

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 — Ceylon Leadwort.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,098 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 taking Chitrak Alcohol Free, check your medications against these drug types: any drug broken down by CYP2D6, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 liver enzymes (a large group including many antidepressants, pain medications, and statins); blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs; hormone therapies; immunosuppressants; and diabetes medications. These interactions are all Moderate severity.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Chitrak Root Extract, Dry10 drug types · 1,097 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

There is some concern that Ceylon leadwort might potentiate the effects of anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs and possibly increase the risk of bleeding. Ceylon leadwort root extract has been shown to decrease platelet adhesion and prolong bleeding in animals. However, this effect has not yet been demonstrated in humans. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. Some of these drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Ceylon leadwort root extract has been shown to both increase and decrease blood glucose levels in animal research. This effect has not yet been demonstrated in humans. Theoretically, Ceylon leadwort might reduce or potentiate the effects of antidiabetes drugs. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Medication dose adjustments may be necessary. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (Diabeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Plumbagin, a constituent of Ceylon leadwort, has been shown to inhibit cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) in vitro. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. Theoretically, Ceylon leadwort might increase the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2. Some substrates of CYP1A2 include clozapine (Clozaril), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), fluvoxamine (Luvox), haloperidol (Haldol), imipramine (Tofranil), mexiletine (Mexitil), olanzapine (Zyprexa), pentazocine (Talwin), propranolol (Inderal), tacrine (Cognex), zileuton (Zyflo), zolmitriptan (Zomig), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2B6 (Cyp2B6) Substrates

Plumbagin, a constituent of Ceylon leadwort, has been shown to inhibit cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) in vitro. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. Theoretically, Ceylon leadwort might increase the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2B6. Drugs that are metabolized by CYP2B6 include ketamine (Ketalar), phenobarbital, orphenadrine (Norflex), secobarbital (Seconal), and dexamethasone (Decadron).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Plumbagin, a constituent of Ceylon leadwort, has been shown to inhibit cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) in vitro. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. Theoretically, Ceylon leadwort might increase the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9. Drugs that are metabolized by CYP2C9 include celecoxib (Celebrex), diclofenac (Voltaren), fluvastatin (Lescol), glipizide (Glucotrol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), irbesartan (Avapro), losartan (Cozaar), phenytoin (Dilantin), piroxicam (Feldene), tamoxifen (Nolvadex), tolbutamide (Tolinase), torsemide (Demadex), and S-warfarin (Coumadin).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Plumbagin, a constituent of Ceylon leadwort, has been shown to inhibit cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) in vitro. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. Theoretically, Ceylon leadwort might increase the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6. Some drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 include amitriptyline (Elavil), codeine, desipramine (Norpramin), flecainide (Tambocor), fluoxetine (Prozac), ondansetron (Zofran), tramadol (Ultram), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates

Plumbagin, a constituent of Ceylon leadwort, has been shown to inhibit cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) in vitro. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. Theoretically, Ceylon leadwort might increase the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1. Some drugs metabolized by CYP2E1 include acetaminophen, chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte), ethanol, theophylline, and anesthetics such as enflurane (Ethrane), halothane (Fluothane), isoflurane (Forane), methoxyflurane (Penthrane).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Plumbagin, a constituent of Ceylon leadwort, has been shown to inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in vitro. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Chitrak Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Chitrak Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chitrak Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 1,097 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chitrak Alcohol Free 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.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No. Ceylon leadwort is rated as likely unsafe in pregnancy because it was traditionally used to cause abortion. Do not use it if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Is it safe while breastfeeding?
The safety data isn't strong enough to recommend it while breastfeeding. There's not enough information about how it might affect a nursing infant, so it's best avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions.
What does plumbagin do?
Plumbagin is the main active compound in Ceylon leadwort. It can interfere with how your liver breaks down certain medications and may irritate your skin and gut at higher doses.
Has this been tested in humans for the interactions listed?
Most of the interactions we list — the enzyme inhibition, effects on blood thinners, and impacts on diabetes drugs — have been shown in lab or animal studies but haven't yet been confirmed in humans. That's why they're flagged as theoretical concerns rather than proven ones, but they're still worth checking against your medications.
Does this product work for asthma?
There isn't reliable evidence we can point to that shows it works for asthma. The studies to date aren't strong enough to make that claim.
