HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dysbiocide by Biotics Research Corporation

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
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 9 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (950 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Dysbiocide contains 9 ingredients total, mostly traditional herbs in a proprietary blend formula. The active components include dill seed, wormwood, java brucea, chinese pulsatilla (a dried plant form), picrasma excelsa (also called quassia), cutch tree extract, hedyotis, yarrow, and stemona.

The product is made into capsules with gelatin and water as inactive ingredients.

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: Support digestive health and intestinal parasites.
  • We looked for evidence on: Crohn disease, Dyspepsia, Gastritis, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Lice, Parasitic infection — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Yarrow is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Quassia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Lice.
  • Also on file: Wormwood is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Crohn disease, Dyspepsia, Gastritis.

The evidence supporting these ingredients is limited. All the checked ingredients — dill, wormwood, picrasma excelsa, cutch tree, and yarrow — have insufficient reliable evidence to rate their effectiveness for the conditions they're traditionally used for.

We hold no effectiveness ratings in our data for stemona, java brucea, or hedyotis. If you're considering this product for a specific health concern, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether the evidence supports its use.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dill Wormwood Pulsatilla Quassia Catechu Yarrow

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 6 of the 6 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 6 of 6.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 6 of 6.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Most of these ingredients are generally well tolerated in food amounts, but this is a concentrated supplement — the safety profile is different. Dill is generally well tolerated as medicine, though allergic reactions (including rare anaphylaxis) have been reported, and it's possibly unsafe in pregnancy.

Wormwood contains thujone, a neurotoxin, and carries serious safety concerns with medicinal doses — it's unsafe in pregnancy and should be avoided while breastfeeding. Chinese pulsatilla is likely unsafe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding; the fresh plant is toxic, so only properly dried forms should be used.

Picrasma excelsa (quassia) is likely unsafe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding and can cause nausea, vomiting, and mucous membrane irritation; long-term use may affect vision. Cutch tree is best avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Yarrow is traditionally avoided in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus and is likely unsafe; allergic reactions and skin irritation can occur, especially with topical use.

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?
  • 5 of the 6 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Yarrow, Quassia, Catechu, Dill, Wormwood.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: seizure medications; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 646 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 Dysbiocide, check if you use anticonvulsant drugs (Wormwood has a Moderate interaction that may reduce seizure control), antidiabetes medications (Dill and Picrasma excelsa may lower blood sugar too much), lithium (Dill and Yarrow may raise lithium levels), diuretics (Picrasma excelsa may worsen potassium loss), digoxin/Lanoxin, theophylline or other CYP1A2 substrates (Picrasma excelsa and Cutch tree may increase their levels), antihypertensive drugs (Cutch tree may lower blood pressure further), immunosuppressants (Cutch tree may interfere), or acid-reflux medications like H2-blockers, antacids, or PPIs (Picrasma excelsa may reduce their effectiveness).

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 product combines herbs with limited effectiveness evidence and several significant medication interactions — particularly with blood sugar drugs, lithium, anticonvulsants, diuretics, and digoxin. It's not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding based on the safety profile of multiple ingredients.

If you take any prescription medications, check them against the interaction tool on this page before using Dysbiocide, and talk with your pharmacist first.

Cutch tree4 drug types · 475 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Catechu might lower blood pressure.

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

Theoretically, black catechu may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
Animal research shows that black catechu can increase theophylline concentrations in the blood, possibly by inhibiting CYP1A2. Theophylline is a CYP1A2 substrate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, catechu might interfere with immunosuppressant therapy.
Animal and in vitro studies suggest that catechu has immunomodulating effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Theophylline

Theoretically, black catechu may increase the levels and clinical effects of theophylline.
Animal research shows that black catechu can increase theophylline concentrations in the blood, possibly by inhibiting cytochrome P450 1A2.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cutch tree full monograph & interactions

Picrasma excelsa6 drug types · 198 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

In animals, quassia extract reduced levels of fasting glucose. Theoretically, quassia might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs. This might increase the risk of hypoglycemia in some patients. Monitor blood glucose levels closely.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, concomitant use with cardiac medications might increase the risk of therapeutic and adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Overuse of quassia might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss. There is some concern that people taking quassia along with potassium depleting diuretics might have an increased risk for hypokalemia. Initiation of potassium supplementation or an increase in potassium supplement dose may be necessary for some patients.
Some diuretics that can deplete potassium include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, Hydrodiuril, Microzide), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antacids

Theoretically, due to reports that quassia increases stomach acid, quassia might decrease the effectiveness of antacids.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
H2-Blockers

Theoretically, due to reports that quassia increases stomach acid, quassia might decrease the effectiveness of H2-blockers. The H2 blockers include cimetidine (Tagamet), ranitidine (Zantac), nizatidine (Axid), and famotidine (Pepcid).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Proton Pump Inhibitors (Ppis)

Theoretically, due to reports that quassia increases stomach acid, quassia might decrease the effectiveness of PPIs. PPIs include omeprazole (Prilosec), lansoprazole (Prevacid), rabeprazole (Aciphex), pantoprazole (Protonix), and esomeprazole (Nexium).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Picrasma excelsa full monograph & interactions

Dill2 drug types · 87 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, dill extract might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Animal research shows that dill extract can reduce blood sugar levels. 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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Dill is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, dill might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Dysbiocide by Biotics Research Corporation: Common Questions

Does Dysbiocide by Biotics Research Corporation interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Dysbiocide has a known interaction with 646 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Dysbiocide contains 9 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 Dysbiocide safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — several ingredients should be avoided. Dill is possibly unsafe in pregnancy. Wormwood, Chinese pulsatilla, Picrasma excelsa, and Yarrow are likely unsafe in pregnancy. Wormwood, Chinese pulsatilla, and Picrasma excelsa should also be avoided while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Can Dysbiocide cause allergic reactions?
Yes. Dill can cause allergic reactions ranging from mild (itching, rash, swelling around the eyes) to severe (anaphylaxis with vomiting and diarrhea), though they're rare. Yarrow can cause allergic skin reactions and dermatitis. If you have known allergies to plants in the daisy or carrot families, mention that to your pharmacist.
What is wormwood and why is there a caution about it?
Wormwood is a traditional herbal ingredient, but it contains thujone, a neurotoxin that can be toxic at higher doses. It may cause nausea, vomiting, and in rare cases serious effects like kidney damage or seizures. It's considered unsafe during pregnancy and should not be used while breastfeeding.
Does Dysbiocide help with gut health or parasites?
The ingredients in Dysbiocide have been traditionally used for digestive and other health purposes, but we don't hold effectiveness evidence for any of these ingredients in our data. The research support is insufficient to rate whether it works for these or any other conditions.
Will Dysbiocide affect my blood sugar medication?
Possibly, yes. Both dill and Picrasma excelsa (quassia) in this product may lower blood sugar and could have additive effects with diabetes medications, increasing the risk of low blood sugar. You'd need close monitoring and your doctor might adjust your dose. Check with your pharmacist before combining them.
Can I take Dysbiocide if I take lithium?
No — two ingredients in this product (dill and yarrow) interact with lithium. Both have diuretic properties that may reduce lithium excretion, raising lithium levels in your blood and potentially causing toxicity. Your lithium dose may need to be lowered. Do not use this product without talking to your doctor first.
