HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Elecampane 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection

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: elecampane extract, supplied as a 4:1 concentrate at 450 mg per capsule. Elecampane is a plant traditionally used to support respiratory and digestive function.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water.

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 Elecampane product and its label doesn't state a use — see Elecampane'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 does not establish that elecampane is effective for acne or cough — the data rates both as insufficient. If you're considering this product for another purpose, we don't have effectiveness information on file for it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Elecampane

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.

Elecampane is generally well tolerated in small amounts, but it can cause allergic reactions and stomach upset in some people. At high doses, it may cause diarrhea, vomiting, and muscle spasms.

People sensitive to plants in the daisy family (ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies) are at higher risk for allergic contact reactions. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Elecampane

Meds to double-check

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 — Elecampane.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 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, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use any CNS depressants — sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, opioid painkillers, or sedating antihistamines. Elecampane may increase their sedative effects and impair your alertness.

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.

Elecampane is a traditional herbal extract that may interact with sedating medications by deepening their drowsy effects. If you take sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs, opioids, or certain antihistamines, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? The safety data advises against it, so talk with your doctor about whether this is right for you.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Elecampane 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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 if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it during both pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your options.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
Most commonly, elecampane can cause allergic reactions or stomach upset. At higher doses, diarrhea and vomiting may occur. If you're sensitive to plants like ragweed or daisies, you're at higher risk for allergic skin reactions.
Is this product proven to work for cough or acne?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that elecampane is effective for either. If you're interested in it for another reason, the data on file doesn't cover that either.
Can I take this with my sleep medication?
Don't start it without checking first — elecampane may add to the sedative effects of sleep aids and make you drowsier. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to see if it's safe for you.
