HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dandelion 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
This product contains one active ingredient, dry dandelion leaf extract. It is the plant material the product is built around, and it is the ingredient we hold interaction and safety data for.
The inactive ingredients listed are glycerin and water. These are non-active components that make up the liquid, and they are not counted among the active ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
Dandelion leaf extract has been studied for joint pain, tonsillitis, postoperative swelling, and postoperative pain. For each of these uses, the evidence is rated Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate, so we cannot say from our data that it works for any of them.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Dandelion is generally well tolerated as food, but supplement-strength doses are less studied and may cause allergy or stomach upset. The most common side effects are diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach discomfort.
Serious reactions are rare but include anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals, and people sensitive to the daisy family (Asteraceae/Compositae) may react to it. Our safety notes advise caution during breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information to know either way.
Our pregnancy entry for this product has no details on file. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check these drug types before taking this product, since each carries a Moderate rating: blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs, potassium-sparing diuretics, antidiabetes drugs, lithium, quinolone antibiotics, and drugs cleared through glucuronidation or CYP1A2. Use the search tool on this page to look up your exact medications.
Then confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
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.
This product may be of interest to adults looking for a dandelion-based liquid, though the evidence for any specific use is not established in our data. If you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, diuretics, diabetes medications, lithium, quinolone antibiotics, or other prescription drugs, be careful and check with your own doctor or pharmacist first.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an allergy to ragweed or similar plants, talk it over with your healthcare provider before using it.

For each ingredient in Dandelion Alcohol Free with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Dandelion Leaf Extract, Dry
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.
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.
