HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Figwort by TerraVita
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: Figwort Glycerite Liquid Extract. Figwort is a traditional herb used to support skin health and lymphatic function.
The extract is prepared in glycerin, which serves as both the extraction medium and a sweetening agent. Glycerin is also listed as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
We don't have effectiveness ratings on file for figwort. The evidence supporting its use hasn't been established in the data we hold, so we can't speak to how well it works for any particular condition.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Figwort comes with some caution flags. Limited safety data exist, so use it short-term only and watch for any unexpected effects.
The safety information we have advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough reliable data to know it's safe in those situations. Because of the limited data, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start figwort, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take diuretics (water pills) or lithium. Both carry documented Moderate-severity interactions with this product.
Your healthcare provider may need to adjust your potassium supplement or monitor your lithium levels more closely.
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-ingredient herbal extract with a long traditional history, but modern safety data are sparse. If you take a diuretic or lithium, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — those are the main medication concerns.
Short-term use is the way to go, and if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's best to skip it and talk it over with your healthcare provider.

Figwort by TerraVita Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Figwort by TerraVita can interact with medications you may already be taking.
The main concern is with diuretics (water pills) — figwort's diuretic properties might worsen potassium loss, raising the risk of low potassium levels (hypokalemia). People on potassium-depleting diuretics may need their potassium supplement adjusted or increased.
There is also a Moderate-severity interaction with lithium: figwort may reduce how your body clears lithium, potentially raising its levels and requiring a dose adjustment.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Altogether, these interactions span 76 individual medications. Because figwort has limited safety data overall, we recommend using it short-term only and checking your exact medications with the search tool on this page before you start — especially if you take a diuretic or lithium.

Figwort Glycerite Liquid 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.
