Heartsease Ingredients & Drug Interactions
by Hawaii Pharm
What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Heartsease 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 Heartsease by Hawaii Pharm
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: heartsease extract. We don't have detailed information on what role it plays in the body, but traditionally it's been used for respiratory and skin health.
The liquid also contains vegetable palm glycerin, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, and artesian Hawaiian purified water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold isn't strong enough to say whether heartsease works for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or atopic dermatitis (eczema, a chronic itchy skin condition). The rating for both is insufficient reliable evidence to rate — meaning studies either don't exist, are too small, or don't clearly show a benefit.
That's not a verdict that it doesn't work, just that we can't confirm it from the data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Heartsease is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. The safety data are limited, though, so we don't have a complete picture of how safe it is long-term or in all groups.
One important note: there's a case report of hemolysis (the breakdown of red blood cells) in a nine-month-old infant with glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, a genetic condition affecting how blood cells handle certain substances. If you or a family member has G6PD deficiency, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
There isn't enough safety information to know if heartsease is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Because of that, the data advise against using it in those times.
If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to be, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That said, before you start this product, run your full medication list through the search tool on this page — absence of documented interactions isn't a guarantee none exist.
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.
Heartsease extract is generally well tolerated, but the evidence for what it actually does isn't established in our data. It's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to limited safety information, and anyone with G6PD deficiency should check with their doctor or pharmacist first.
If you're considering it, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to decide if it fits your health plan.
