Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Diuret+ contains 5 active ingredients: potassium, mannitol, hibiscus flower extract, dandelion root extract, and horsetail extract. Potassium is an essential mineral your body needs for heart and nerve function.

The herbal extracts—dandelion, hibiscus, and horsetail—are traditionally used for their diuretic (water-shedding) properties, though the evidence supporting their specific uses isn't established in our data. Mannitol is an osmotic agent.

The product also contains cellulose as an inactive ingredient.

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: fluid retention and diuretic support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Heart failure, Hypertension, Postoperative swelling, Edema, Water retention, Mild diuresis.
  • The closest evidence on file: Dandelion is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Heart failure (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Dandelion is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Postoperative swelling.
  • Also on file: Horsetail is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hypertension.

We don't have effectiveness ratings in our data for this product's combination or for most of its individual ingredients as used here. Dandelion root extract has been studied for joint pain, tonsillitis, and postoperative swelling and pain, but the evidence is insufficient to rate it.

Horsetail extract has been studied for urinary incontinence, obesity, tonsillitis, and androgenic alopecia (hair loss), but again the evidence is insufficient. If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, that's a good conversation to have with your pharmacist or doctor, because the science behind it isn't solid yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Potassium Dandelion Horsetail

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Potassium is generally well tolerated when it comes from food, but supplements can cause dangerously high blood levels, especially if you have kidney disease. Common side effects from potassium include abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, and vomiting.

Serious but rare effects include heart rhythm problems, low blood pressure, and mental confusion—all tied to high potassium levels. Dandelion is generally well tolerated as food but may cause diarrhea, heartburn, or stomach discomfort at supplement doses; allergic reactions including anaphylaxis are rare but possible, especially in people sensitive to ragweed and related plants.

Horsetail has limited safety data; common side effects are abdominal bloating, increased bowel movements, and nausea. Crude horsetail contains thiaminase, which can cause thiamine deficiency with long-term use.

For pregnancy: potassium from a normal diet is fine, but use supplements only under medical guidance. We don't have enough safety data for dandelion or horsetail in pregnancy—talk with your doctor.

For breastfeeding: check with your doctor before using potassium supplements, and we don't have enough data for dandelion or horsetail while breastfeeding.

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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Dandelion, Horsetail, Potassium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 569 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 Diuret+, check with your pharmacist if you take potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or ARBs (Moderate risk of high potassium). Also double-check if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, diabetes medications, lithium, regular diuretics, HIV medications (NRTIs or efavirenz), fluoroquinolone antibiotics, or any drug metabolized by your liver's CYP1A2 pathway.

Dandelion and horsetail interact with several of these drug types.

The bottom line

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

This product combines potassium with herbs that affect many medications. If you take any blood pressure drugs, diuretics, blood thinners, diabetes medications, or lithium, you need to check with your pharmacist before starting it.

Even if you don't take those, the interaction list is long enough that a quick medication review is worth your time. The evidence for what this product actually does isn't well established yet.

Dandelion Root Extract7 drug types · 457 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Dandelion Root Extract full monograph & interactions

Horsetail Extract5 drug types · 188 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking horsetail with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Equisetum myriochaetum has demonstrated hypoglycemic activity in clinical research. In an animal diabetic model, Equisetum giganteum had hypoglycemic effects. It is unclear whether other horsetail species have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, taking horsetail with diuretic drugs might increase potassium loss and the risk of hypokalemia.
Laboratory research shows that various species of horsetail have diuretic properties. Due to its diuretic effects, there has been concern that taking horsetail along with potassium-depleting diuretics might increase the risk for hypokalemia. However, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that taking horsetail 900 mg daily for 4 days does not affect urinary excretion of electrolytes, including potassium and sodium, despite having a diuretic effect similar to taking hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily. It is unclear if taking horsetail for a longer duration would affect electrolyte levels. Until more is known, use with caution.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Efavirenz (Sustiva)

Theoretically, horsetail might decrease the levels and clinical effects of efavirenz.
In two case reports, patients were found to have detectable viral loads when taking horsetail-containing supplements along with an antiretroviral regimen that included efavirenz. In one case, the antiretroviral regimen included zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz; in the other case, the regimen consisted of emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and efavirenz. One month after discontinuing horsetail, the viral loads became undetectable in both cases. The exact mechanism of this interaction is unknown. It is also unclear if this interaction is specific to efavirenz or if it is related to various components of antiretroviral therapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, horsetail might increase the levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research suggests that horsetail has diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, horsetail might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (Nrtis)

Theoretically, horsetail might decrease the levels and clinical effects of NRTIs.
In two case reports, patients were found to have detectable viral loads when taking horsetail-containing supplements along with an antiretroviral therapy. In one case, the antiretroviral regimen included zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz; in the other case, the regimen consisted of emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and efavirenz. One month after discontinuing the supplement, the viral loads became undetectable in both cases. The exact mechanism of these interactions is unknown. It is also unclear if these interactions are specific to NRTIs or if they are related to various components of antiretroviral therapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Horsetail Extract full monograph & interactions

Potassium3 drug types · 62 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.

Diuret+ by Herbs SRA: Common Questions

Does Diuret+ by Herbs SRA interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Diuret+ has a known interaction with 569 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Diuret+ contains 5 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.
Can I take Diuret+ if I have kidney disease?
You should talk with your doctor first. Potassium supplements can cause dangerously high blood levels in people with kidney disease, and that's especially a concern with this product since it contains potassium as an active ingredient.
What are the most common side effects of Diuret+?
From potassium, you might get abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, or vomiting. Dandelion can cause diarrhea, heartburn, or stomach discomfort. Horsetail may cause abdominal bloating, increased bowel movements, or nausea. Most people don't have serious problems, but these are the effects reported in the safety data.
Is Diuret+ safe to use while pregnant?
Potassium from food is fine, but use potassium supplements only under medical guidance during pregnancy. We don't have enough safety data for the dandelion or horsetail extracts in pregnancy, so talk with your doctor before taking this product if you're pregnant or planning to be.
Is Diuret+ safe while breastfeeding?
Check with your doctor before using potassium supplements while breastfeeding. We also don't have enough safety data on dandelion or horsetail while breastfeeding, so your doctor or pharmacist can give you personalized advice.
Does this product actually work for water retention or swelling?
We don't have established effectiveness data in our records for this product. Dandelion and horsetail have been studied for things like joint pain and urinary incontinence, but the evidence isn't strong enough to rate them. If you're looking for help with a specific issue, ask your pharmacist what the science actually supports.
