HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dandelion Root by Mountain Meadow Herbs
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
Low disclosure
This liquid formula contains 3 active ingredients: vegetable glycerin (a naturally derived humectant and osmotic agent), dandelion root extract, and distilled water, plus organic grain alcohol as a preservative. The vegetable glycerin serves multiple roles in the formulation, while the dandelion root extract provides the plant's traditional active compounds.
There are no inactive fillers or binders listed in this product.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Effectiveness data in our database applies only to vegetable glycerin. It is likely effective for constipation, and possibly effective for athletic performance and a skin condition called ichthyosis (a dryness disorder).
For stroke and meningitis, the evidence suggests it is likely ineffective or possibly ineffective. We don't hold effectiveness ratings for dandelion root extract itself, so we cannot tell you whether this product works for any condition dandelion is traditionally used for — that evidence isn't established in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Vegetable glycerin is generally well tolerated in normal amounts. Taken by mouth, it can cause bloating, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and headache — usually mild.
Large oral doses raise concerns about stomach upset and dehydration. Because dandelion root extract is a plant blend and distilled water and grain alcohol have little or no specific safety data on file, talk to your doctor before using medicinal amounts of this product, especially if you're taking medications or have any health concerns.
Pregnancy and lactation safety information for these ingredients is not on file — check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That said, we hold no interaction data for distilled water or organic grain alcohol, so confirm your complete medication list with your own doctor or pharmacist before you start.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is a simple liquid blend with no documented medication interactions for the ingredient we could fully evaluate. It's generally well tolerated, though larger doses may cause digestive upset or dizziness.
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any regular medications, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they can confirm it fits your individual situation.
Educational only — not medical advice; always confirm with your pharmacist. Our editorial policy · How we use AI

Dandelion Root by Mountain Meadow Herbs Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Dandelion Root by Mountain Meadow Herbs contains vegetable glycerin, dandelion root extract, distilled water, and grain alcohol.
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. We hold no interaction data for distilled water or organic grain alcohol, so we cannot rule out interactions with those components.
To be thorough, run your exact medications through the search tool on this page.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Vegetable glycerin — the one ingredient with a full monograph — shows no documented interactions with any medications. Dandelion root extract is a blend of multiple plant components, and we don't have interaction data broken out by individual constituent, so we've listed what's available.
If you take any prescription or over-the-counter drugs, it's worth confirming there are no concerns specific to your regimen.

For each ingredient in Dandelion Root 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 root extract
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.
