HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Full Spectrum Mint & Dill by Swanson Premium Brand
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 2 active ingredients: peppermint and dill, both dried plant materials in capsule form. Peppermint is standardized for its essential oil and comes from the peppermint plant; dill is the herb commonly used in cooking.
The capsules also contain gelatin as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Peppermint is likely effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and possibly effective for indigestion, nausea from chemotherapy, and spasm during medical procedures like barium enemas and endoscopy. Dill's effectiveness has not been established in our data — the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate it for aging skin, high cholesterol, labor pain, or period pain.
If you're taking this for a specific condition, talk with your pharmacist about whether the ingredient has solid research backing.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both peppermint and dill are generally well tolerated when used in food amounts. Peppermint oil at higher doses can cause abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, diarrhea, and anal burning; topical application may cause skin irritation or burning.
Rare allergic reactions — including anaphylaxis with lip and tongue swelling — have been reported. Dill is well tolerated as a food and as medicine, though allergies are possible, ranging from mild rash and itching to anaphylaxis.
Dill may cause contact dermatitis or light sensitivity if you handle fresh plants. For peppermint, safety data in pregnancy is rated likely safe; for dill, pregnancy safety is possibly unsafe, so talk with your doctor or midwife before use if you're pregnant.
Lactation safety data for dill is not on file.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this, double-check any heart or blood pressure medications, cancer drugs, immunosuppressants (especially cyclosporine), diabetes medications, and lithium with your pharmacist. Peppermint may slow your liver's breakdown of many drugs, potentially raising their levels; dill may lower blood sugar or raise lithium levels.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take medications broken down by your liver — especially heart drugs, immunosuppressants, diabetes medications, or lithium — check your exact prescriptions with the tool below before starting this product. Peppermint is backed by solid research for IBS and indigestion; dill's medicinal effects are not well established.
Both are generally well tolerated, though allergies do occur. Your pharmacist can help you weigh the benefits against any interaction risk for your specific situation.

Full Spectrum Mint & Dill by Swanson Premium Brand Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Swanson Premium Brand Full Spectrum Mint & Dill contains peppermint and dill, two ingredients with documented interactions.
The most serious finding involves peppermint's effect on a large group of medications: it may slow how your liver breaks down drugs that depend on a set of enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 substrates). This could raise drug levels in your bloodstream — an effect seen in human studies with heart medications like felodipine, though it hasn't been reported clinically with most other drugs in this group yet.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Peppermint also interacts with cyclosporine (a medication that prevents organ rejection), potentially increasing its levels and side effects. Additionally, peppermint may theoretically raise levels of a smaller group of drugs (CYP1A2 substrates like caffeine-based medications), though clinical evidence of this is weak.
Dill adds two separate concerns: it may lower blood sugar (hypoglycemia) additively with diabetes medications, and it may increase lithium levels because of its diuretic (water-loss) properties. Altogether, these interactions span 855 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Full Spectrum Mint & Dill 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.
Peppermint
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)
Theoretically, peppermint oil might increase the levels and adverse effects of cyclosporine.
In animal research, peppermint oil inhibits cyclosporine metabolism and increases cyclosporine levels. Inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) may be partially responsible for this interaction. An interaction between peppermint oil and cyclosporine has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research shows that peppermint oil inhibits CYP2C19. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that peppermint oil inhibits CYP2C9. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
Clinical research in healthy volunteers shows that a single dose of peppermint oil 600 mg inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes and increases the AUC of felodipine, a CYP3A4 substrate. However, in vitro research suggests that peppermint oil only inhibits CYP3A4 at very high concentrations.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro and animal research shows that peppermint oil and peppermint leaf inhibit CYP1A2. However, in clinical research, peppermint tea did not significantly affect the metabolism of caffeine, a CYP1A2 substrate. It is possible that the 6-day duration of treatment may have been too short to identify a difference.
Dill
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, dill extract might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Animal research shows that dill extract can reduce blood sugar levels. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.
Lithium
Dill is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, dill might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
