HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Herbal Eyebright 480 mg by Wonder Laboratories

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: eyebright leaf extract at 480 mg per capsule. Eyebright is a plant traditionally used for eye-related concerns, though the evidence for its effectiveness is limited (see below).

The capsule also contains several inactive ingredients—vegetable cellulose, gelatin, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate—that help form and fill the capsule.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Eyebright's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: eye health and comfort.
  • We looked for evidence on: Asthenopia (eye strain), Conjunctivitis, Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), eye irritation, eye redness, nasal congestion.
  • The closest evidence on file: Eyebright is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Eyebright is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Asthenopia (eye strain), Conjunctivitis.

The evidence for eyebright is not well established. Our data rates it as having insufficient reliable evidence for hay fever, common cold, cough, pharyngitis, rhinosinusitis, and cancer.

In other words, we don't yet have strong proof that it works for any of these uses. If you're considering this supplement for a specific condition, talk with your pharmacist about what the current research actually shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Eyebright

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Taken by mouth, eyebright has been reported to cause confusion, headache, nausea, constipation, cough, shortness of breath, and nasal congestion in some people. Safety during pregnancy has not been established—the data advises against use in pregnancy.

There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding either. One caution: using non-sterile or homemade eyebright directly in the eye carries risk and isn't recommended.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Eyebright

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Eyebright.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check any antidiabetes drugs (blood-sugar medications like insulin, metformin, or sulfonylureas) with the search tool below before you start. Eyebright may lower blood sugar, so combining it with these drugs could raise your risk of low blood sugar.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Eyebright is generally well tolerated in small amounts, but the evidence for what it actually does is weak. If you take any blood-sugar medication, you'll want to check it against this product first.

Talk with your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any prescription drugs.

Herbal Eyebright 480 mg by Wonder Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Herbal Eyebright 480 mg by Wonder Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Herbal Eyebright 480 mg has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Herbal Eyebright 480 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Safety hasn't been established for pregnancy, so it's best avoided. There also isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your options.
Does eyebright actually work for hay fever or colds?
The evidence isn't there yet. We have insufficient reliable evidence to say whether eyebright works for hay fever, colds, cough, sore throat, sinus problems, or cancer. If you're hoping it'll help with one of those, your pharmacist can point you toward treatments with stronger evidence behind them.
What side effects might I experience?
Some people have reported confusion, headache, nausea, constipation, cough, shortness of breath, and nasal congestion when taking eyebright by mouth. These aren't common, but they're worth knowing about.
Can I use this eyebright as an eye wash?
No. Using non-sterile or homemade eyebright preparations directly in the eye carries risk. This product is for swallowing, not for putting in your eye.
Does this have any fillers?
The capsule itself contains vegetable cellulose, gelatin, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate—those are the inactive ingredients that make up the capsule structure. The active ingredient is the eyebright leaf extract.
