HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Detoxhills Syrup by Herbal Shots

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

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 7 of its 8 active ingredients.

Detoxhills Syrup contains 8 ingredients, 6 of which are active herbs and spices. The main active ingredients are ginger (Sunthee), triphala, wild mint (Pudina), cumin (Jeera), garcinia, coriander (Dhania), and saindhav namak (Himalayan salt).

Each plays a traditional role in herbal wellness preparations. The product also contains inactive ingredients — sodium benzoate (a preservative), sorbitol (a sweetener), nature-identical flavoring, and edible food color — which are excipients that give the syrup its form and shelf stability.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: colon cleansing and healthy digestion.
  • We looked for evidence on: Constipation, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bowel regularity — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Coriander is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Coriander is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Cumin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The evidence we hold on these ingredients is limited. Ginger shows possibly effective ratings for pregnancy-related nausea, period pain (dysmenorrhea), and osteoarthritis, though it's rated possibly ineffective for exercise-related muscle soreness and chemotherapy nausea.

For the other active ingredients — cumin, garcinia, and coriander — the data we have rates them as having insufficient reliable evidence for the conditions they're traditionally used for, including blood sugar control, weight, liver health, and digestion. Wild mint and triphala's effectiveness ratings are not established in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ginger Wild Mint Cumin Garcinia Coriander

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 4 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Ginger is generally well tolerated in typical amounts. The most common side effects from oral ginger are mild — abdominal discomfort, burping, diarrhea, heartburn, and a peppery irritation in the mouth and throat.

Doses above 5 grams per day increase the risk of side effects. Cumin and coriander as food spices are generally safe, though cumin in larger medicinal doses has limited safety data, and rare allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported for both.

Garcinia is generally well tolerated short-term, but rare reports link it to liver injury, mania, and heart inflammation; the safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Wild mint used in culinary amounts is likely fine, but the concentrated essential oil and medicinal doses lack study.

Safety data for Triphala and Saindhav Namak in supplement form is not on file here.

Meds to double-check

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?
  • 4 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Coriander, Cumin, Garcinia, Ginger.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,471 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 syrup, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants) like warfarin or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin — ginger, cumin, and garcinia may raise bleeding risk. Also double-check if you're on diabetes medications (ginger, cumin, coriander), blood pressure drugs (nifedipine, losartan, or other antihypertensives from coriander), serotonin-related antidepressants like escitalopram (garcinia), sedating medications (coriander), or medications your liver heavily processes.

Ginger may also affect how rifampin works if you're on that antibiotic.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a multi-herb syrup with traditional use in digestion and detox, but modern evidence for most ingredients is incomplete or mixed. The main concern is interaction risk if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, blood pressure drugs, or certain antidepressants — and the interaction count is substantial.

If you're on any prescription medication or have bleeding, heart, or liver concerns, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Sunthee14 drug types · 1,007 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Ginger may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. However, research is conflicting.
Laboratory research suggests that ginger inhibits thromboxane synthetase and decreases platelet aggregation. However, this has not been demonstrated unequivocally in humans, with mixed results from clinical trials. Theoretically, excessive amounts of ginger might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking ginger with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal and human research suggests that ginger might increase insulin levels and/or decrease blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Ginger might increase or decrease the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research and some case reports suggest that ginger inhibits CYP3A4 activity. Three case reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) adverse drug reaction database describe increased toxicity in patients taking ginger and cancer medications that are CYP3A4 substrates (imatinib, dabrafenib, and crizotinib). However, the causality of this interaction is unclear due to the presence of multiple interacting drugs and routes of administration.
Conversely, other in vitro research suggests that ginger induces CYP3A4 activity, leading to reduced levels of CYP3A4 substrates. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Losartan (Cozaar)

Theoretically, ginger might increase levels of losartan and the risk of hypotension.
In animal research, ginger increased the levels and hypotensive effects of a single dose of losartan. It is not clear if ginger alters the concentration or effects of losartan when taken continuously. Additionally, this interaction has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nifedipine (Procardia)

Ginger may have antiplatelet effects and increase the risk of bleeding if used with nifedipine.
Clinical research shows that combined treatment with ginger 1 gram plus nifedipine 10 mg significantly inhibits platelet aggregation when compared to nifedipine or ginger alone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Ginger might increase the absorption and blood levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates.
In vitro research and case reports suggest that ginger inhibits drug efflux by P-gp, potentially increasing absorption and serum levels of P-gp substrates. Two case reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) adverse drug reaction database describe increased toxicity in patients taking ginger and cancer medications that are P-gp substrates (trametinib, crizotinib). However, the causality of this interaction is unclear due to the presence of multiple interacting drugs and routes of administration.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenprocoumon (Marcoumar, Others)

Ginger might increase the risk of bleeding with phenprocoumon.
Phenprocoumon, a warfarin-related anticoagulant, might increase the international normalized ratio (INR) when taken with ginger. There is one case report of a 76-year-old woman with a stable INR on phenprocoumon that increased to greater than 10 when she began consuming dried ginger and ginger tea.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Ginger might increase the risk of bleeding with warfarin.
Laboratory research suggests that ginger might inhibit thromboxane synthetase and decrease platelet aggregation. In one case report, ginger increased the INR when taken with phenprocoumon, which has similar pharmacological effects as warfarin. In another case report, ginger increased the INR when taken with a combination of warfarin, hydrochlorothiazide, and acetaminophen. A longitudinal analysis suggests that taking ginger increases the risk of bleeding in patients taking warfarin for at least 4 months. However, research in healthy people suggests that ginger has no effect on INR, or the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of warfarin. Until more is known, monitor INRs closely in patients taking large amounts of ginger.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Calcium Channel Blockers

Theoretically, taking ginger with calcium channel blockers might increase the risk of hypotension.
Some animal and in vitro research suggests that ginger has hypotensive and calcium channel-blocking effects. Another animal study shows that concomitant administration of ginger and the calcium channel blocker amlodipine leads to greater reductions in blood pressure when compared with amlodipine alone.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)

Theoretically, when taken prior to cyclosporine, ginger might decrease cyclosporine levels.
In an animal model, ginger juice taken 2 hours prior to cyclosporine administration reduced the maximum concentration and area under the curve of cyclosporine by 51% and 40%, respectively. This effect was not observed when ginger juice and cyclosporine were administered at the same time.

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

Theoretically, ginger might increase the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ginger inhibits CYP1A2 activity. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2B6 (Cyp2B6) Substrates

Theoretically, ginger might increase the levels of CYP2B6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ginger inhibits CYP2B6 activity. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, ginger might increase the levels of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ginger inhibits CYP2C9 activity. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Metronidazole (Flagyl)

Theoretically, ginger might increase levels of metronidazole.
In an animal model, ginger increased the absorption and plasma half-life of metronidazole. In addition, the elimination rate and clearance of metronidazole was significantly reduced.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sunthee full monograph & interactions

Dhania4 drug types · 717 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, coriander might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Evidence from animal research suggests that coriander fruit and coriander extract can reduce blood glucose levels. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, coriander might increase the risk of hypotension when taken with antihypertensive drugs.
Evidence from animal research suggests that coriander fruit can lower blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, coriander might cause additive sedative effects when taken with CNS depressants.
Evidence from animal research suggests that coriander fruit extract has sedative effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Photosensitizing Drugs

Theoretically, coriander might increase the risk of photosensitivity when taken with photosensitizing drugs.
Evidence from in vitro research suggests that coriandrin, a constituent of coriander, has photosensitizing effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Dhania full monograph & interactions

Garcinia4 drug types · 704 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), the main active ingredient in garcinia, might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
HCA inhibits platelet aggregation in vitro. The inhibitory effect seems to be greater in platelets extracted from diabetic subjects than non-diabetic subjects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), the main active ingredient in garcinia, might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
HCA reduces fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels in animal models, theoretically by delaying glucose absorption. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of developing liver damage.
There have been reports of acute hepatitis with elevated liver enzymes associated with garcinia, when taken alone or in combination with other ingredients. Case reports collected from the Drug Induced Liver Injury Network suggest this risk may be greater in people who carry the HLA B*35:01 allele.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Serotonergic Drugs

Theoretically, combining garcinia with other serotonergic drugs might increase the risk of serotonergic side effects, including serotonin syndrome.
In one report, a patient experienced serotonin syndrome after taking garcinia extract (60% hydroxycitric acid) 1000 mg daily in combination with escitalopram 20 mg, which had been taken for a year. The patient was switched to sertraline 50 mg daily and again experienced serotonin syndrome.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Garcinia full monograph & interactions

Jeera3 drug types · 211 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, cumin might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that cumin can inhibit platelet aggregation. Theoretically, cumin might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, cumin might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that cumin can lower blood sugar in diabetic animals. However, research in humans with and without diabetes has found conflicting results.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Rifampin (Rifadin)

Theoretically, cumin might increase the effects and adverse effects of rifampin.
Animal research suggests that an aqueous extract of cumin containing a specific flavonoid glycoside can increase the bioavailability and plasma levels of rifampin.

Detoxhills Syrup by Herbal Shots: Common Questions

Does Detoxhills Syrup by Herbal Shots interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Detoxhills Syrup has a known interaction with 1,470 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Detoxhills Syrup contains 8 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Is ginger safe during pregnancy?
The safety data rates ginger as Likely Safe or Possibly Safe in pregnancy — it's often used for morning sickness. However, keep amounts moderate and check with your doctor first, since reliable data is limited.
What are the side effects of ginger in this product?
Ginger most commonly causes mild side effects: stomach discomfort, burping, diarrhea, heartburn, and a peppery irritation in the mouth and throat. These tend to be mild and are more likely at doses above 5 grams per day.
Can I use garcinia while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against garcinia during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're planning pregnancy, are pregnant, or are nursing.
Does this syrup work for weight loss or blood sugar control?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that cumin, garcinia, or coriander work for weight, obesity, or blood sugar in humans. Ginger has insufficient evidence for those uses too. These are traditional uses, but modern research hasn't confirmed them.
Are there any allergy risks with the spices in this syrup?
Yes — rare cases of serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported for cumin and coriander, though they are uncommon. If you have spice allergies, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
Is it safe to take this syrup long-term?
Garcinia is noted as generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety is unclear, and rare reports link it to liver injury. For the other ingredients, food-level amounts are generally safe long-term, but medicinal supplement doses lack long-term study — discuss duration of use with your doctor or pharmacist.
