HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Devil's Claw 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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: devil's claw root tuber extract (dry, raw form). Devil's claw is a plant traditionally used to support joint comfort and back health.

The liquid also contains glycerin and water as inactive ingredients that help with formulation and preservation.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Joint pain and inflammation support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Back pain, Osteoarthritis, Myalgia, Fibromyalgia, Gout, Tendinopathy — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Devil's Claw is rated "Possibly Effective" for Back pain (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Devil's Claw is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoarthritis.
  • Also on file: Devil's Claw is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fibromyalgia, Myalgia, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Gout, and more.

Devil's claw has been studied most for back pain and osteoarthritis, and the evidence for both is rated Possibly Effective — meaning there's some promising research, but we'd like to see more. The evidence for atherosclerosis (narrowing of arteries) isn't established enough to rate.

If you're considering this for joint or back discomfort, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether the research supports what you're hoping to treat.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Devil's Claw

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.

Devil's claw is generally well tolerated for short-term use in healthy adults. The most common side effects are mild: allergic skin reactions, diarrhea, and indigestion.

Some people report stomach upset, loss of taste, or headache, and rarely, gastrointestinal bleeding has occurred — especially at higher doses. Avoid this product during pregnancy because it may affect the uterus and its safety hasn't been established.

Also avoid it while breastfeeding because there isn't enough safety information.

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 — Devil's Claw.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 805 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.

Check your medications if you take warfarin or other blood thinners, any drug metabolized by CYP2C19, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 enzymes (a broad category including many heart, cholesterol, and psychiatric drugs), or acid-reducing medications like H2-blockers or PPIs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Devil's claw may help with back pain or osteoarthritis, but it interacts with blood thinners like warfarin and affects how your liver breaks down many common medications. If you take any prescription drugs — especially those for heart health, blood thinning, or stomach acid — check with your pharmacist before starting.

It's not for pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Devil's Claw Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Devil's Claw Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Devil's Claw Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 804 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Devil's Claw 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.
Can I take Devil's Claw if I'm on warfarin or another blood thinner?
Not without talking to your pharmacist first. Devil's claw may theoretically increase how strongly blood thinners work, and there's one case report of bleeding problems when someone took warfarin and devil's claw together. Your pharmacist needs to check your specific situation.
What are the most common side effects?
Allergic skin reactions, diarrhea, and indigestion are most common. Some people also report stomach upset, loss of taste, or headache. Most effects are mild, but gastrointestinal bleeding has rarely been reported, especially at higher doses.
Is Devil's Claw safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No. Avoid it during pregnancy because it may affect the uterus and safety hasn't been established. Also avoid it while breastfeeding because there isn't enough safety information.
Does Devil's Claw actually work for back pain?
The research suggests it's possibly effective — there's some promising evidence, but we'd like to see more studies. It may help, but it's not a guarantee.
Can Devil's Claw affect acid-reducing medications like antacids?
Possibly. Devil's claw has been reported to increase stomach acid, which might interfere with H2-blockers and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). If you take either, check with your pharmacist before starting.
