HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dandelion Alcohol-Free by Herb Pharm

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

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: Dandelion Whole Flowering Plant Extract from fresh, undried plants. The liquid also includes two inactive ingredients—glycerin and distilled water—that serve as the base and preservative.

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 is effective for the conditions listed on this product—joint pain, tonsillitis, postoperative swelling, and postoperative pain all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That means the research so far isn't strong enough to say whether it works for these uses.

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 used as food, but supplement-strength doses are less studied. The most common side effects reported are diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach discomfort.

Rare serious reactions include anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) in sensitive individuals. Allergic reactions—including anaphylaxis, allergic rhinitis, and conjunctivitis—have been reported in people handling products containing dandelion pollen, particularly those sensitive to the daisy family (Asteraceae), which includes ragweed, chrysanthemums, and marigolds.

Topical use may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin. Safety data during breastfeeding is limited, so caution is advised if you're nursing.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product, especially if you have known allergies to plants in the daisy family or a history of severe allergic reactions.

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, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelets), potassium-sparing water pills (diuretics), diabetes medications, quinolone antibiotics like ciprofloxacin, lithium, or any drugs metabolized by your liver—all carry moderate-severity interaction risks with dandelion.

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 Alcohol-Free might appeal to someone interested in herbal remedies, but the evidence for its effectiveness on the listed conditions isn't established in our data. More importantly, if you take blood thinners, water pills, diabetes medications, certain antibiotics, lithium, or drugs metabolized by your liver, this product could interact with them.

Check your specific medications with the tool on this page and talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.

Dandelion Whole Flowering Plant Extract, Fresh, Undried7 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.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Dandelion 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.
What is dandelion extract used for?
This product is marketed for joint pain, tonsillitis, postoperative swelling, and postoperative pain. However, the evidence we have doesn't establish that dandelion is effective for these uses yet.
What are the side effects of dandelion?
The most common side effects are diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach discomfort. Rare but serious reactions include anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) in sensitive people, and allergic reactions like itchy eyes and sneezing, especially in those sensitive to plants in the daisy family.

Can I take this if I'm allergic to ragweed or daisies?
You should be careful. Dandelion belongs to the same plant family as ragweed, daisies, and chrysanthemums, so allergic reactions are possible in sensitive people. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you have allergies to these plants before using this product.
What's in this liquid besides the dandelion extract?
The product contains glycerin and distilled water as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.
