HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Enula by NutraMedix

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1.50 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

Enula is a 2-ingredient liquid supplement built around a proprietary blend. The two active ingredients are elecampane root extract and jalap root extract, delivered in a base of water and ethanol (a standard carrier for herbal tinctures and extracts).

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Immune and microbial support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cough, Bronchitis, Respiratory infections, Mucus clearance.
  • The closest evidence on file: Elecampane is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cough (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold does not establish that elecampane works for acne or cough — both ratings are insufficient reliable evidence. No effectiveness data is on file for jalap in this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Elecampane Jalap

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 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Elecampane is generally used in small amounts and is generally well tolerated, but it can trigger allergic reactions and stomach upset, especially in people sensitive to the ragweed family of plants. At high oral doses, it may cause diarrhea, vomiting, and other serious effects.

The safety data advises against elecampane during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Jalap is a harsh purgative known to cause severe cramping and dehydration, and it is generally not recommended for routine use.

The safety data advises against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Elecampane, Jalap.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 346 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 you take Enula, double-check any other laxatives or stool softeners you're on (major interaction with jalap), then water pills or diuretics, blood thinners like warfarin, the heart drug digoxin, lithium, and sedating medications like sleep aids or anxiety drugs. These are the medication types with documented interactions.

Ingredients driving the most interactions

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Enula with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Elecampane Root Extract1 drug type · 248 drugs

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, elecampane may cause additive sedative effects when taken with CNS depressants.
Elecampane might have sedative effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Jalap root extract5 drug types · 100 drugs

Stimulant Laxatives

Jalap has stimulant laxative effects. Concomitant use of jalap with other laxatives may lead to electrolyte and fluid depletion.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Jalap has diuretic and stimulant laxative effects. Theoretically, overuse or abuse of jalap might increase potassium depletion and increase the risk for toxicity with cardiac glycoside drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Jalap has diuretic effects. Overuse of jalap might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss. There is some concern that people taking jalap along with potassium depleting diuretics might have an increased risk for hypokalemia.
Some diuretics that can deplete potassium include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, Hydrodiuril, Microzide), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Jalap has stimulant laxative effects. In some people jalap can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding. Advise patients who take warfarin not to take excessive amounts of jalap.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Jalap has diuretic effects. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, jalap might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Does Enula by NutraMedix interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Enula has a known interaction with 346 medications, including 21 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Enula contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 Enula if I'm pregnant?
No — the safety data advises against both ingredients during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Can I take Enula if I'm breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against both ingredients while breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for alternatives safe during nursing.
What are elecampane and jalap used for in this product?
Elecampane is traditionally used for cough and acne, though the evidence we hold is insufficient to confirm either. Jalap is a strong laxative (purgative) traditionally used to stimulate bowel movements.
What side effects should I watch for?
Elecampane may cause allergic reactions and stomach upset; at high doses it can cause diarrhea, vomiting, or spasms. Jalap commonly causes severe cramping and can lead to dehydration and electrolyte loss.
Can I take Enula long-term?
Jalap is a harsh purgative and is generally not recommended for routine or long-term use because of the risk of cramping, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance. Talk with your pharmacist about duration.
Is Enula safe if I'm taking water pills?
No — jalap has documented interactions with diuretic drugs. Using them together may compound potassium loss and increase the risk of low blood potassium. Do not take this product if you're on a diuretic without checking first.
