Ground Ivy Ingredients & Drug Interactions
What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Ground Ivy against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ground Ivy 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: fresh ground ivy herb extract in a liquid form. The extract is suspended in distilled water and ethyl alcohol as inactive carriers.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold rates ground ivy for sunburn as insufficient — meaning there isn't enough reliable data to say whether it works for that purpose or not. If you're considering it for sunburn relief, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the research actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Ground ivy is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth or applied to skin, though a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been completed. Some people report itching and stinging when applying it topically — these symptoms often show up in the first two weeks but tend to fade with continued use.
Ground ivy should be avoided in pregnancy; it's traditionally been used to affect menstruation, which raises safety concerns. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information, so it's best to skip it and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for ground ivy with any medications. Still, check your specific drugs through the tool on this page before starting, especially if you take anything regularly.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Ground ivy has no documented drug interactions, which is good news if you take medications. That said, safety data is limited overall, and it's not recommended in pregnancy or while nursing.
If you have questions about whether it's right for your situation, your pharmacist can help you decide.
