HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Figwort by Hawaii Pharm

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 product contains one active ingredient: certified organic figwort extract in liquid form, suspended in vegetable glycerin, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, and purified water. Figwort is a plant traditionally used in herbal practice, though its mechanisms and benefits in modern medicine are not well established in our data.

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 Figwort product and its label doesn't state a use — see Figwort'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.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for figwort in our data, so we cannot tell you whether this extract works for any particular purpose. If you're considering it for a specific health goal, that's worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Figwort

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Safety data on figwort are limited, so the manufacturer advises using it short-term and with caution. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe in either situation.

Because adverse effects and side-effect frequencies aren't documented in our data, talk with your pharmacist about what to watch for if you do decide to take it.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Figwort

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 — Figwort.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 76 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, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take lithium (even a small increase in its blood level can matter) or any diuretic or water pill, especially potassium-depleting ones like furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide. These are the medication types with documented interactions in our data.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Figwort is a single-herb liquid extract with documented interactions involving diuretics and lithium — two important medication classes. If you take either type of drug, or any other prescription medication, check the details with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.

The short-term, cautious-use label and pregnancy/breastfeeding cautions are signals that safety evidence is thin here.

Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, overuse of figwort might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss. There is some concern that people taking figwort along with potassium depleting diuretics might have an increased risk for hypokalemia. Initiation of potassium supplementation or an increase in potassium supplement dose may be necessary for some patients. Some diuretics that can deplete potassium include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, Hydrodiuril, Microzide), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Figwort is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, figwort might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
