HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Elecampane Root Mint Flavor 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.

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 liquid extract contains one active ingredient: elecampane root glycerite liquid extract. The product also includes glycerin and mint flavor as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Cough and bronchial 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 for elecampane isn't established in the data we hold. For both acne and cough — two uses this product might be considered for — there's insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works.

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 tea and tinctures, but it can cause allergic reactions and stomach upset in some people. At high doses taken by mouth, it may cause diarrhea, vomiting, and in rare cases, muscle spasms or paralysis-like symptoms.

Topically, it can cause allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in people sensitive to plants in the ragweed family (such as chrysanthemums, marigolds, and daisies). The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in either situation.

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're on any CNS depressants — sleep aids, anxiety medications, sedating pain relievers, or drowsy-causing antihistamines. Elecampane may amplify their sedative effects, making you more drowsy or impaired.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Elecampane Root Mint Flavor may be something to consider if you're exploring herbal approaches to cough or acne, but the evidence for how well it works isn't established. The main thing to watch for is interaction with sedating medications — if you take anything that makes you drowsy or relaxed, talk it through with your doctor or pharmacist first.

It's also not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Elecampane Root Mint Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Elecampane Root Mint Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Elecampane Root Mint Flavor 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 Mint Flavor 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 or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know whether elecampane is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice on whether it's right for you.
What are the side effects?
At normal small doses, elecampane is generally well tolerated. It can cause allergic reactions and stomach upset in some people. At high doses, it may cause diarrhea, vomiting, or in rare cases, muscle spasms. If you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants (marigolds, daisies, chrysanthemums), you're more likely to have an allergic reaction.
Does this actually work for cough or acne?
There isn't enough reliable evidence to know how well elecampane works for either condition. The data we hold doesn't establish its effectiveness for these uses.
Why does this product have 248 drug interactions but only one ingredient?
That number means elecampane interacts with 248 individual medications across one drug category — in this case, CNS depressants like sleep aids and anxiety medications. It doesn't mean the product is unsafe, but it does mean you should check your specific medications before starting it.
