HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Don Quai 530 mg by Wonder Laboratories

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

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: dong quai 530 mg per capsule. Dong quai is a root used in traditional Asian medicine, often for women's health and circulation support.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and filled with rice flour, vegetable magnesium stearate, and silica as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Dong Quai product and its label doesn't state a use — see Dong Quai's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold on dong quai doesn't support it clearly for any condition. The data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis, coronary heart disease, migraine headache, or atopic dermatitis (eczema).

If you're considering dong quai for a specific health concern, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to discuss what the current science actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dong Quai

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.

Dong quai is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, with the most common side effects being burping and flatulence. It may increase your bleeding risk and can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so use it with care.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy because dong quai may stimulate the uterus and affect bleeding. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information available, so it's best to avoid it or talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.

Occupational exposure to dong quai dust has triggered allergic asthma and rhinitis in at least one pharmacist; if you're sensitive to herbs or have respiratory allergies, be aware of this possibility.

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Dong Quai.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 163 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 product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin or other blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel—dong quai may raise your bleeding risk, and warfarin interactions are rated Major severity. If you use estrogens (hormone replacement or birth control), confirm it's okay, since dong quai may interfere with how well they work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Don Quai is mainly a concern if you take blood thinners like warfarin or aspirin, or if you use estrogen therapy—those are the interactions we know about. The evidence for what it actually does isn't solid yet.

Before you start, check your medications and supplements with your own doctor or pharmacist, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or prone to bleeding.

Dong Quai3 drug types · 163 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Dong quai may increase the risk of bleeding when used with warfarin.
Case reports suggest that concomitant use of dong quai with warfarin can increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding. In one case, after 4 weeks of taking dong quai 565 mg once or twice daily, the international normalized ratio (INR) increased to 4.9. The INR normalized 4 weeks after discontinuation of dong quai.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, dong quai may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Animal studies suggest that dong quai has antithrombin activity and inhibits platelet aggregation due to its coumarin components. Additionally, some case reports in humans suggest that dong quai can increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. However, clinical research in healthy adults shows that taking 1 gram of dong quai root daily for 3 weeks does not significantly inhibit platelet aggregation or cause bleeding. Until more is known, use dong quai with caution in patients taking antiplatelet/anticoagulant drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, dong quai may reduce the effects of estrogens.
Dong quai has estrogenic effects. Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of dong quai might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.

Don Quai 530 mg by Wonder Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Don Quai 530 mg by Wonder Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Don Quai 530 mg has a known interaction with 163 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Don Quai 530 mg 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 Don Quai if I'm pregnant?
No, the safety data advises against it. Dong quai may stimulate the uterus and affect bleeding, so pregnancy is not the time to use it. Talk with your doctor before taking any supplement while pregnant.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information available, so it's best avoided while nursing. If you want to use dong quai while breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
What are the most common side effects?
Most people who take dong quai by mouth experience burping and flatulence. Watch out also for increased sun sensitivity—protect your skin if you're spending time outdoors.
Does this product actually work for what it's supposed to do?
The evidence we hold on dong quai is insufficient to rate it clearly for any condition—iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis, heart disease, migraines, or eczema. You'd want to discuss its actual benefits with your doctor.
Why is warfarin a bigger concern than other blood thinners?
Case reports show that dong quai can strengthen warfarin's anticoagulant effects and increase bleeding risk—that's rated Major severity. Other blood thinners carry Moderate risk, and the evidence is more mixed, but they still need to be checked.
