HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Extreme Potency Andrographis Extract by Herbadiet
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
Herbadiet's formula contains 2 active ingredients: Organic Andrographis and Andrographis Leaf Extract. Both are concentrated forms of andrographis, a plant used traditionally for immune support and inflammation.
The capsule is wrapped in vegetable cellulose.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The andrographis in this product is rated possibly effective for ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel condition), sore throat and tonsil infection (tonsillopharyngitis), and osteoarthritis (joint wear and tear). Evidence for familial Mediterranean fever (a rare inherited inflammatory condition) is insufficient to rate.
These effectiveness claims come from our data; your own results may vary depending on dose, duration, and individual factors.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Andrographis is generally well tolerated in the short term, though the quality of products and long-term safety are not well established. Common side effects include abdominal discomfort, taste changes, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting, itching, and rash.
Serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, are rare. Headache and fatigue are more likely at higher doses (5–10 mg/kg of andrographolide) or beyond 14 days of use.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy because of theoretical and animal-study concerns about reproductive effects. There isn't enough safety information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications, blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin, or immune-suppressing medications. Also confirm if you use etoricoxib (Arcoxia), celecoxib (Celebrex), or glipizide (Glucotrol), as andrographis may affect how these work.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Andrographis may help with sore throat, inflammatory bowel symptoms, or joint pain, but it's not a substitute for medical treatment. If you take blood pressure medication, blood thinners, immune-suppressing drugs, or certain diabetes or pain medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your healthcare provider says otherwise.

Extreme Potency Andrographis Extract by Herbadiet Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Herbadiet's Extreme Potency Andrographis Extract contains two forms of andrographis, both of which interact with several medication types.
The most serious concern is moderate-severity risk of low blood pressure (hypotension) when combined with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), and moderate risk of increased bleeding with blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Both ingredients may also interfere with drugs that suppress the immune system (immunosuppressants), again at moderate severity. Additionally, andrographis theoretically affects how your body absorbs or processes certain pain relievers and diabetes medications, though the clinical significance of these minor-severity interactions remains unclear.
Altogether, these interactions span 413 individual medications. Before you start this product, run your exact medications through the checker on this page—especially if you take any blood pressure or blood-thinning drug.

For each ingredient in Extreme Potency Andrographis Extract with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Organic Andrographis
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, andrographis might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Animal and laboratory studies suggest that andrographis has antiplatelet effects.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, andrographis might increase the risk of hypotension when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research suggests that andrographis has hypotensive effects.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, andrographis might interfere with the effects of immunosuppressive drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that andrographolide has immunostimulant activity.
Celecoxib (Celebrex)
Theoretically, andrographis extract might increase the maximum concentration and time to peak concentration of celecoxib. The clinical significance of these changes is unclear.
Animal research suggests that andrographis extract taken orally increases the maximum concentration and time to peak concentration of celecoxib but does not appear to impact the area under the curve.
Etoricoxib (Arcoxia)
Theoretically, andrographis might decrease the absorption of etoricoxib, although the clinical significance is unclear.
Animal research shows that andrographis extract, or the constituent andrographolide, taken orally with etoricoxib decreases the bioavailability of etoricoxib. However, this reduced bioavailability is not correlated with a reduction in the anti-inflammatory effects of etoricoxib in arthritic mice models. The clinical significance of this interaction is unclear.
Glipizide (Glucotrol)
Theoretically, andrographis extract might increase the maximum concentration and area under the curve of glipizide; however, opposite effects are seen with the constituent, andrographolide. The clinical significance of this interaction is unclear.
Animal research suggests that andrographis extract taken orally with glipizide in diabetes-induced rats increases the maximum concentration and area under the curve of glipizide. However, the opposite effect is seen with the constituent, andrographolide, in which the maximum concentration and area under the curve are decreased when taken with glipizide.
