HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Egyptian Lily 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

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: Egyptian Lily Root Extract in dry form. It's prepared as a liquid with alcohol, water, and glycerin 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 Lotus product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lotus'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 on Egyptian Lily root for its common uses isn't established in the data we hold. The conditions it's marketed for — nausea, sore throat, sleep trouble, weight, heavy menstrual bleeding, and bleeding itself — all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence to judge whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lotus

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.

Lotus root is eaten as food, but the safety of concentrated supplements hasn't been well studied in humans. Allergic reactions are on record: some people have developed hives or contact dermatitis after eating lotus root or touching it.

The data advises against using this supplement while breastfeeding, as safety hasn't been established. Because medicinal amounts haven't been thoroughly tested, avoid concentrated supplements.

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lotus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 212 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 before starting if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin), diabetes medications, or pentobarbital or other sedatives. These are the medication types with documented moderate interactions; the product may strengthen or interact with how they work.

The bottom line

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

If you're curious about lotus root and don't take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or sedatives, this product is generally well tolerated — but the evidence for what it's supposed to do just isn't there yet. If you take any of those medication types, talk with your pharmacist before starting.

Stop and call us if you develop hives or skin irritation.

Egyptian Lily Root Extract, Dry3 drug types · 212 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concurrent use of lotus with other antiplatelet drugs might reduce platelet aggregation and increase the risk of bleeding.
Neferine and isoliensinine, constituents of lotus, have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation, in vitro. These constituents can inhibit the production of pro-aggregating factors like prostaglandins.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, lotus might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research shows that the ethanolic extract of lotus reduces blood glucose levels and potentiates the effects of injected insulin. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, taking lotus concomitantly with pentobarbital might increase sedation.
Animal research shows that lotus extract increases pentobarbitone-induced sleeping time. It is not known if this occurs in humans or if this effect occurs with other barbiturates or sedatives.

Egyptian Lily by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Egyptian Lily by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Egyptian Lily has a known interaction with 212 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Egyptian Lily 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 this while I'm pregnant?
The safety data for this product during pregnancy isn't on file. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice — they can help you weigh any risks and benefits based on your situation.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against supplement use while breastfeeding. There isn't enough information to know it's safe for your baby, so skip it or talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Does this really help with nausea or sleep?
The evidence isn't established in the data we hold. Lotus root is used in cooking and traditional medicine for these purposes, but we don't have reliable research showing it works for any of them in supplement form.
Can I have an allergic reaction to this?
Yes — some people have developed hives or skin irritation after eating lotus root or touching it. If you notice any rash or itching after taking this product, stop and let us know.
What's in the liquid besides the lotus extract?
The inactive ingredients are alcohol, water, and glycerin — they help preserve and carry the extract.
