HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Elecampane Root by TerraVita

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.

Elecampane Root by TerraVita contains one active ingredient: elecampane root extract. The product also includes glycerin as an inactive ingredient — a common preservative and carrier in liquid supplements.

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 for elecampane root isn't established in the data we hold. For both acne and cough — two uses it's been studied for — we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works.

That doesn't mean it's ineffective, only that the science isn't conclusive yet.

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 when used in small amounts, as in tea or tincture. That said, it can trigger allergic reactions and stomach upset, especially in people sensitive to plants in the ragweed and daisy family.

At high doses, it may cause diarrhea, vomiting, and rarely more serious effects. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

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.

If you take CNS depressants — sleep aids, antihistamines, anti-anxiety medications, opioid painkillers, or anything that makes you drowsy — check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting elecampane. It may add to that sedative effect.

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 root may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional herbal support, but it's not a proven remedy for any condition based on current evidence. If you take sedating medications or anything that makes you drowsy, you'll want to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding this.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? The safety data advises against it — talk it over with your healthcare provider.

Elecampane Root by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Elecampane Root by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Elecampane Root 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 Root 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 pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What are the side effects?
Most common is allergic contact dermatitis if applied to skin, especially in people sensitive to ragweed or daisy family plants. Taken by mouth in large doses, it may cause diarrhea and vomiting; rarely, high doses can cause more serious effects like spasms.
Does elecampane actually work for cough or acne?
We have insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works for either. That doesn't mean it's ineffective — just that the science isn't conclusive yet.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
The 248 interactions we've catalogued are all with CNS depressants — a large drug class that includes sleep aids, antihistamines, anxiety medications, and opioids. Elecampane's sedative effects can theoretically add to the drowsiness these drugs already cause, which is why the overlap is broad.
Is this product safe?
It's generally well tolerated in small amounts, but it can cause allergic reactions and stomach upset, and high doses may bring on more serious effects. If you're on sedating medications, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
