HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dandelion 2250 mg by NusaPure

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.

Dandelion 2250 mg is a single-ingredient supplement providing dandelion extract in capsule form. The inactive ingredients—cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice powder—are fillers and binders that hold the capsule together.

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 Dandelion product and its label doesn't state a use — see Dandelion'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 evidence we hold doesn't establish that dandelion works for the conditions listed here. The data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for joint pain, tonsillitis, postoperative swelling, or postoperative pain.

If you're considering dandelion for one of these purposes, talk it over with your doctor about what the current science supports and what might work better for you.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dandelion

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.

Dandelion is generally well tolerated when eaten as food, though supplement-strength doses are less studied. The most common side effects reported are diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach discomfort.

In sensitive individuals, dandelion can trigger allergic reactions—including rare severe reactions like anaphylaxis—and contact dermatitis if applied to skin. Because dandelion is in the ragweed family (Asteraceae), people allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, or related plants may react to it.

There isn't enough reliable information on safety while breastfeeding, so caution is advised if you're nursing—talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use. Pregnancy safety data isn't on file for this product.

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 — Dandelion.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 457 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, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (the most serious concern here), potassium-sparing diuretics, diabetes medications, lithium, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, or any drugs metabolized through CYP1A2 or glucuronidation. These are theoretical interactions based on lab research, but they matter for your safety.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Dandelion 2250 mg may be worth considering if you're interested in herbal supplementation, but the interactions with blood thinners, diabetes drugs, lithium, and several other medications are real concerns. If you take any prescription drugs—especially blood thinners, water pills, diabetes or mood medications, or fluoroquinolone antibiotics—check with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.

People with ragweed or related plant allergies should avoid it.

Dandelion extract7 drug types · 457 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking dandelion root along with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that dandelion root inhibits platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion extract may have moderate alpha-glucosidase inhibitor activity and might also increase insulin secretion. Also, in a case report, a 58-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes who was being treated with insulin developed hypoglycemia 2 weeks after beginning to eat salads containing dandelion.

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

Theoretically, dandelion might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, until more is known, watch for an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 in patients taking dandelion.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the clearance of drugs that are UDP-glucuronosyltransferase substrates.
There is some preliminary evidence that dandelion might induce UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, a phase II enzyme.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, through diuretic effects, dandelion might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that dandelion has diuretic properties. As diuretics can increase serum lithium levels, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when taken with dandelion.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Quinolone Antibiotics

Theoretically, dandelion might lower fluoroquinolone levels.
Animal research shows that dandelion reduces absorption of ciprofloxacin and can lower levels by 73%. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Dandelion 2250 mg by NusaPure: Common Questions

Does Dandelion 2250 mg by NusaPure interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Dandelion 2250 mg has a known interaction with 457 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Dandelion 2250 mg 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 dandelion if I'm allergic to ragweed?
No—dandelion is in the same plant family as ragweed, chrysanthemums, and daisies, so if you're allergic to any of those, you may react to dandelion. Talk to your doctor before using it.
What are the most common side effects?
Diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach discomfort are the most commonly reported. In sensitive people, dandelion can also cause allergic reactions or, when applied to skin, dermatitis.
Is dandelion safe to take while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable information to know. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you while nursing.
Does this product actually work for joint pain or swelling?
The evidence we have doesn't establish that it does. The data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate dandelion for joint pain, tonsillitis, or postoperative pain or swelling.
Why does dandelion interact with so many medications?
Dandelion affects how your body processes drugs through multiple pathways—it may inhibit or induce liver enzymes, it's high in potassium, and it has diuretic and blood-clotting effects. That's why it touches so many medication types.
