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

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: coltsfoot powder. There are no other inactive ingredients listed.

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 Coltsfoot product and its label doesn't state a use — see Coltsfoot'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 facts provided do not include effectiveness ratings for coltsfoot leaf powder. We don't have evidence data on file for its intended uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Coltsfoot

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.

Coltsfoot carries a significant safety concern: it contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (hepatotoxic compounds) that can damage your liver and lungs with chronic use. The facts advise using only certified PA-free (pyrrolizidine alkaloid-free) products, if you use coltsfoot at all.

Possible liver injury symptoms include belly pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and swelling of the abdomen within days; liver enlargement may persist for weeks. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy due to potential liver toxicity and harm to the baby.

The safety data also advises against use while breastfeeding, because toxic alkaloids can pass into breast milk.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Coltsfoot

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 — Coltsfoot.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 375 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 this product, check with your pharmacist if you use blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, heparin, enoxaparin, and others)—these are Moderate interactions. Also double-check if you take blood pressure medications or CYP3A4-inducing drugs like carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, or rifampin, which are also Moderate interactions.

Coltsfoot, Powder3 drug types · 374 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Concomitant use might increase the risk of bleeding due to decreased platelet aggregation. Coltsfoot has been reported to inhibit platelet aggregation; avoid concomitant use. Some of these drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, excessive doses of coltsfoot may interfere with antihypertensive or cardiovascular therapy.

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

Hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) are substrates of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). Theoretically, drugs that induce CYP3A4 might increase the conversion of PAs to toxic metabolites. Some drugs that induce CYP3A4 include carbamazepine (Tegretol), phenobarbital, phenytoin (Dilantin), rifampin, rifabutin (Mycobutin), and others.

Coltsfoot Leaf Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Coltsfoot Leaf Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Coltsfoot Leaf Powder has a known interaction with 374 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Coltsfoot Leaf Powder 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 coltsfoot safe to use while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy due to potential liver toxicity and harm to the baby, and against breastfeeding because toxic alkaloids may pass into breast milk. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before considering any supplement during pregnancy or while nursing.
What's the main health risk with coltsfoot?
The major concern is its pyrrolizidine alkaloid content, which can cause liver and lung damage. With chronic use, these compounds are linked to a serious liver condition called veno-occlusive disease, which can cause belly pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and liver enlargement within weeks.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
No, you should avoid it. Coltsfoot can reduce platelet clumping, which increases bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel. Talk to your pharmacist before using this product if you take any blood thinner.
What does 'certified PA-free' mean on the label?
PA stands for pyrrolizidine alkaloid—the toxic compounds in coltsfoot that harm your liver and lungs. A certified PA-free product has been tested to ensure these alkaloids have been removed. If you do use coltsfoot, the facts advise choosing only certified PA-free versions.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
The coltsfoot ingredient itself has interactions with three drug types—blood thinners, blood pressure medicines, and certain liver-processing drugs. Altogether, these interactions span 371 individual medications across those categories.
