HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dashamula Powder by Banyan Botanicals
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
Dashamula Powder contains 10 ingredients, most in a proprietary blend. The formula includes traditional Ayurvedic herbs: bael (fruit and leaf), oroxylum indicum, pointed gourd (stereospermum), malay bush beech, solanum indicum, yellow-fruit nightshade, and gokshura (tribulus).
Three ingredients — arani, sarivan, and dabra — are also part of the blend. There are no inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Not established
The data we hold shows that gokshura may be possibly effective for sexual dysfunction, though evidence varies. For athletic performance, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.
Gokshura's evidence as a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, a non-cancerous prostate enlargement) is insufficient to rate. For the other ingredients in this formula — bael, pointed gourd, and the rest — we don't have established effectiveness ratings in our data, so we can't say how well this combination works for its intended use.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Bael is generally well tolerated, though large amounts may cause stomach upset and constipation. However, concentrated bael supplements lack strong safety data — the ripe fruit is eaten as food, but medicinal supplements haven't been studied extensively.
Gokshura is often well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, though long-term safety data are limited. Pointed gourd has very limited human safety data overall.
We don't hold safety information for the other ingredients in the blend.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check before taking this product if you use antidiabetes drugs (diabetes medications), antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications), cholinergic drugs (like donepezil for memory), or lithium. These are the main drug categories documented to interact with the ingredients we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a traditional Ayurvedic formula with herbs that may affect blood sugar and blood pressure, so it's important to discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist if you take diabetes medications, blood pressure drugs, or lithium. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your healthcare provider first — several ingredients in this blend aren't recommended during pregnancy or lactation due to insufficient safety data or theoretical concerns.

Dashamula Powder by Banyan Botanicals Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Dashamula Powder by Banyan Botanicals contains several ingredients with documented interactions: through its bael, pointed gourd (stereospermum), and gokshura (tribulus) content, it may affect blood sugar control and blood pressure.
The most serious interaction is with antidiabetes drugs — bael, pointed gourd, and gokshura can all lower blood glucose levels, which might add to the effect of diabetes medications and raise the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Bael also interacts with cholinergic drugs (medications that increase acetylcholine activity, like donepezil for Alzheimer's) — it may increase the risk of cholinergic side effects. Additionally, bael may slow how your liver breaks down certain drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 (minor interactions).
Gokshura may lower blood pressure and could add to the effect of antihypertensive medications. It may also affect lithium levels and how your kidneys clear it.
We could not check three other ingredients — arani, sarivan, and dabra — because we hold no data for them. Three more — oroxylum indicum, malay bush beech, solanum indicum, and yellow-fruit nightshade — also cannot be checked.
Altogether, these interactions span 961 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Dashamula Powder with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Bael
Antidiabetes Drugs
Evidence from animal research suggests that extracts of bael seed and leaf can reduce blood glucose levels. Theoretically, bael might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.
Cholinergic Drugs
Bael leaf extract shows acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity in vitro. Theoretically, bael might have additive effects with cholinergic drugs and increase the risk of cholinergic side effects.
Cholinergic drugs include bethanechol (Urecholine), donepezil (Aricept), echothiophate (Phospholine Iodide), edrophonium (Enlon, Reversol, Tensilon), neostigmine (Prostigmin), physostigmine (Antilirium), pyridostigmine (Mestinon, Regonol), succinylcholine (Anectine, Quelicin), and tacrine (Cognex).
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Bael extract and its constituent marmesinin inhibited cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) activity in vitro. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. Theoretically, bael might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 include amitriptyline (Elavil), haloperidol (Haldol), ondansetron (Zofran), propranolol (Inderal), theophylline (Theo-Dur, others), verapamil (Calan, Isoptin, others), and others. Use bael cautiously or avoid in patients taking these drugs.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Bael and its constituents marmelosin and marmesinin inhibited cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity in vitro. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. Theoretically, bael might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include lovastatin (Mevacor), ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), fexofenadine (Allegra), triazolam (Halcion), and numerous others. Use bael cautiously or avoid in patients taking these drugs.
Gokshura
Antidiabetes Drugs
Taking tribulus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that Tribulus can lower blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes who are taking antidiabetes medications.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking tribulus with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that tribulus can lower blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Tribulus has also demonstrated hypotensive effects in pre-hypertensive adults.
Lithium
Theoretically, tribulus might increase the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
Tribulus is thought to have diuretic properties. Due to these potential diuretic effects, tribulus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
Pointed Gourd
Antidiabetes Drugs
Animal research suggests that stereospermum can have hypoglycemic effects. This has not been shown in humans. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking antidiabetes drugs. Theoretically, concomitant use with antidiabetes drugs might affect glucose control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.
