HelloPharmacist Scorecard of GlucoMedix by NutraMedix
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
Low disclosure
GlucoMedix contains two active ingredients: stevia leaf extract and cat's claw bark extract (Uncaria tomentosa). The product comes as a liquid, which also contains mineral water and ethanol as inactive ingredients.
Stevia is a plant-derived sweetener; cat's claw is a traditional botanical extract.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for these ingredients isn't well established in our data. Stevia has insufficient reliable evidence for use in diabetes, hypertension, or weight management.
Cat's claw similarly lacks sufficient evidence for allergic rhinitis, Alzheimer's disease, asthma, osteoporosis, cancer, or chronic fatigue. We can't tell you what this product is designed to do based on the strength of that science.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Purified stevia at food amounts is generally recognized as safe, though high-dose supplement forms lack solid safety data — we'd use caution. Most trial participants on stevia tolerated it well, with minor side effects like headache, dizziness, nausea, bloating, or muscle pain usually resolving in the first week.
Rare allergic reactions have been reported. Cat's claw is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, but its long-term safety hasn't been thoroughly studied.
Case reports have linked it to kidney injury in some patients. Clinical trials reported headache, fatigue, insomnia, and nerve-related symptoms in small numbers of participants; anemia and blood cell reductions also occurred, though those patients had advanced cancer and it's unclear what caused what.
Cat's claw is not safe in pregnancy — traditional use as an abortifacient and lack of safety data both advise against it — and there isn't enough data to use while breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with us before taking this if you're on lithium, blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin), blood pressure medications, calcium channel blockers, immunosuppressants, or Paxlovid. Cat's claw may also affect how your body clears any drug metabolized through your liver's CYP3A4 pathway, and stevia might theoretically increase low blood sugar risk if you're on diabetes medications.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take lithium, blood thinners, blood pressure medications, immunosuppressants, or Paxlovid, this product needs a pharmacist or doctor sign-off first. We don't have evidence that GlucoMedix works for any specific condition based on the data we hold.
Talk with us about whether it's right for you and your medications.

GlucoMedix by NutraMedix Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
GlucoMedix by NutraMedix contains two active ingredients, and one of them — cat's claw (Uncaria tomentosa) — carries documented interactions with multiple medications.
The most serious concern is with lithium, a mood-stabilizing medication: stevia in this product may theoretically reduce how your kidneys clear lithium, raising its levels to unsafe ranges. This is a Moderate severity interaction and one you'll want to flag if you take lithium.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Cat's claw presents several other Moderate interactions. It may increase bleeding risk if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin, interfere with immunosuppressant medications used after transplants or for autoimmune conditions, and theoretically lower your blood pressure further if you take blood pressure medications or calcium channel blockers.
There's also a specific concern with Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir) for COVID-19: cat's claw may speed up how your body clears this antiviral, potentially reducing its effectiveness.
Both stevia and cat's claw carry Minor interactions with antidiabetes drugs and blood pressure medications, respectively — theoretically raising the risk of low blood sugar or low blood pressure when combined. Altogether, these interactions span 1,028 individual medications.

For each ingredient in GlucoMedix 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.
Uncaria tomentosa Bark Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, cat's claw may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Cat's claw contains rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline. Animal research suggests that these alkaloids can inhibit platelet aggregation. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking cat's claw with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Cat's claw contains rhynchophylline. In vitro and animal research suggests that rhynchophylline can lower blood pressure. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Calcium Channel Blockers
Theoretically, taking cat's claw with calcium channel blockers might increase the risk of hypotension.
Cat's claw contains various alkaloids, including rhynchophylline, isorhynchophylline, corynoxeine, and isocorynoxiene. Animal research suggests that these alkaloids can lower blood pressure by acting as calcium channel blockers. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, cat's claw might increase or decrease the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Cat's claw may affect the clearance of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4. In vitro research shows that cat's claw can inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes. In one case report, a patient taking cat's claw (at an unspecified dose) experienced increased serum levels of atazanavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir, all of which are CYP3A4 substrates. Levels returned to normal 15 days after discontinuation of the cat's claw supplement, suggesting inhibition of CYP3A4 by cat's claw. In contrast, animal research suggests that rhynchophylline, an alkaloid contained in cat's claw, induces CYP3A expression and accelerates the metabolism of nirmatrelvir, the active component in the nirmatrelvir/ritonavir combination product.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, cat's claw might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In human and laboratory research, cat's claw has been shown to have immunostimulating activity. It stimulates phagocytosis and increases respiratory cellular activity and the mobility of leukocytes. Theoretically, this could interfere with the activity of immunosuppressant medications.
Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir (Paxlovid)
Theoretically, cat's claw may decrease the levels of nirmatrelvir.
Cat's claw contains rhynchophylline. Animal research suggests that this alkaloid induces CYP3A expression, thereby accelerating the metabolism of nirmatrelvir, the active component in the nirmatrelvir/ritonavir combination product. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Stevia Leaf Extract
Lithium
Theoretically, stevia might decrease clearance and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stevia extracts might have diuretic activity. Theoretically, increased reabsorption of lithium along with sodium might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, stevia might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when combined with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that taking a single dose of stevia extract 1000 mg reduces postprandial blood glucose levels when taken with a meal. However, other clinical research in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes suggests that taking stevioside 250 mg three times daily does not significantly affect blood glucose levels or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) after three months of treatment.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, combining stevia or stevia constituents with antihypertensive agents might increase the risk of hypotension.
Stevia extract and stevioside might lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. However, other clinical research suggests that stevioside does not significantly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
