HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Figwort by Herbalist & Alchemist
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
This product contains one active ingredient: dried figwort herb extract. Figwort is a traditional botanical used in herbal practice.
The liquid form also contains ethyl alcohol and distilled water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The product facts we hold do not include an effectiveness rating for figwort, so the evidence for its intended use is not established in our data.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Limited safety data exist for figwort, so the guidance is to use it with care and only short-term. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, as there isn't enough reliable information to know whether it's safe for you or your baby in those situations.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on lithium or any diuretic (water pill). Both carry Moderate interaction risk.
If you take any other prescription medication, use the checker on this page to look it up first.
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 best approached as a short-term botanical, and only if you're not taking lithium or diuretics—drugs that figwort can interact with in ways that matter. If you do take either of those, or any other prescription medication, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product.
Limited safety data also mean pregnancy and breastfeeding are times to skip it.

Figwort by Herbalist & Alchemist Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Herbalist & Alchemist Figwort does interact with medications.
Its main active ingredient, dried figwort herb extract, has documented interactions with diuretic drugs (water pills) and lithium. The most serious concern is with lithium: figwort's diuretic properties may reduce how your kidneys clear lithium, causing it to build up in your blood, which could require a dose adjustment.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Figwort can also compound the effect of potassium-depleting diuretics—water pills that make you lose potassium along with fluid. If you're on one of these diuretics, adding figwort might increase your risk of low potassium (hypokalemia), and you may need to start or increase a potassium supplement.
Altogether, these interactions span 76 individual medications. If you take lithium, any diuretic, or any other prescription medication, check your exact drugs with the search tool on this page before you start.

dried Figwort herb extract
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.
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.
