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 glycerite liquid extract, a herbal extract made by soaking elecampane root in a glycerin base. The extract is flavored with vanilla and contains glycerin as an inactive ingredient.

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 action.
  • The closest evidence on file: Elecampane is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cough (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for elecampane isn't established for the uses listed here. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for acne or cough, so we can't tell you whether it works for either condition based on the data we have.

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 like tea or tinctures, but it can trigger allergic reactions and stomach upset in some people — especially if you're sensitive to the daisy/ragweed family of plants. At high doses, it may cause diarrhea, vomiting, and in rare cases spasms or paralysis symptoms.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

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.

Check before combining this with CNS depressants — sedating medications like sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs, pain relievers, or antihistamines — because elecampane may add to their drowsy effects. Run your exact medications through the checker on this page.

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.

This product is one to check before you start, especially if you take any sedating medications. The evidence for how well it works for cough or acne isn't solid.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or sensitive to plants in the daisy family, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
