HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Elecampane Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

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: elecampane root extract in a dry form. Elecampane is a traditional herbal root that's been used in folk medicine for respiratory and digestive purposes.

The liquid is made with glycerin and water as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.

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 — see Elecampane's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: respiratory and digestive health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cough, bronchitis, asthma, expectorant.
  • The closest evidence on file: Elecampane is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cough (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold doesn't support elecampane for acne or cough—both conditions are rated insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the data we have isn't strong enough yet to say whether it does.

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 used in small amounts in traditional tea and tincture form, but it can trigger allergic reactions and stomach upset in some people. If you're sensitive to ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, or other plants in the Asteraceae family, you're at higher risk for an allergic skin reaction.

At high doses, it may cause vomiting, diarrhea, spasms, and in rare cases symptoms that look like paralysis. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Not enough is known about how it affects a developing baby or a nursing infant.

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, double-check your medications with your pharmacist or doctor if you take CNS depressants—drugs that slow your brain activity, such as sedatives, sleeping pills, anxiety medications, or any medication that makes you drowsy. Elecampane may increase their sedative effects.

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.

Elecampane Alcohol Free is a single-ingredient herbal extract used traditionally for respiratory health, though the evidence supporting it isn't yet established in our data. If you take any medication that makes you drowsy—or any CNS depressant—check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting it, because it may add to that effect.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding call for the same conversation with your healthcare provider. It's not right for everyone, so confirm it fits your situation before you take it.

Elecampane Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Elecampane Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Elecampane Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Elecampane Alcohol Free 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 Elecampane Alcohol Free if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, the safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know it's safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in these situations.
What are the side effects of elecampane?
Most people tolerate it without major issues, but allergic reactions and stomach upset can happen, especially with regular use. If you're sensitive to ragweed, daisies, chrysanthemums, or marigolds, you have higher risk of an allergic skin reaction. At high doses, vomiting, diarrhea, and spasms are possible.
Does elecampane really work for cough or acne?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say for certain either way. Traditional use suggests it may help with cough, but reliable clinical data is lacking.
Why is this alcohol-free instead of a tincture?
This liquid form uses glycerin and water instead of alcohol to extract and deliver the elecampane. It's an option if you prefer to avoid alcohol or need to avoid it for medical or personal reasons.
Is elecampane safe to take with my sleeping pills?
Not necessarily. Elecampane may add to the drowsy effects of sleeping pills and other CNS depressants. Check with your own doctor or pharmacist before combining them—they know your full medication list and can give you personalized advice.
