HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Livit 2 by Ayush Herbs
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
Livit 2 contains 3 active ingredients: Tinospora cordifolia, Boerhaavia diffusa, and Picrorhiza kurrooa — all used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. The product also contains binding materials and other inactive ingredients.
Tinospora cordifolia is claimed to support immunity and liver function. Picrorhiza kurrooa is traditionally used for liver and respiratory health.
Boerhaavia diffusa rounds out the blend with traditional support for kidney and liver wellness.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Clinical research shows Tinospora cordifolia is possibly effective for type 2 diabetes, lowering fasting blood sugar and a marker of long-term blood sugar control in adults. Picrorhiza is possibly effective for vitiligo but possibly ineffective for asthma.
For the other conditions listed — allergic rhinitis, cancer, hepatitis, and athletic performance — the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether Livit 2 works. Your own results may vary; talk with your doctor if you're hoping this product will treat or prevent a specific condition.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Tinospora cordifolia is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, with most side effects being mild — headache and nasal pain in trial participants. However, liver injury is a serious rare concern: case reports describe autoimmune hepatitis, acute hepatitis, and liver failure in 49 patients after 42–90 days of use, with some requiring transplant or resulting in death.
Picrorhiza may cause vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, rash, itching, or dizziness. Neither ingredient has enough safety data in pregnancy or breastfeeding — the facts advise against use in both.
Given the liver injury risk, Livit 2 should be used carefully and under guidance, especially if you have any liver condition.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Livit 2 if you use diabetes medications (risk of low blood sugar), immunosuppressants like cyclosporine or tacrolimus (reduced effectiveness), or drugs broken down by your liver's CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP1A2, or CYP2C9 pathways — levels of these drugs may rise. Also disclose if you have liver disease or take supplements that affect the liver.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Livit 2 is a traditional Ayurvedic blend used mainly for liver and immune support, with some evidence that Tinospora cordifolia may help type 2 diabetes. However, it carries a moderate risk of interactions with diabetes drugs, immunosuppressants, and many medications broken down by your liver, and rare liver injury has been reported.
If you take any prescription medications, have liver disease, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have diabetes, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Livit 2 by Ayush Herbs Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Livit 2 by Ayush Herbs interacts with medications through its Tinospora cordifolia and Picrorhiza kurrooa content.
The most serious concern is liver injury — Tinospora cordifolia has been linked to autoimmune hepatitis, acute hepatitis, and acute liver failure in rare cases, with 2 patients requiring transplant and 4 deaths reported across case series. Both ingredients may also interfere with how your body breaks down certain drugs via the cytochrome P450 system (CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP1A2, and CYP2C9 substrates), theoretically raising drug levels — though this hasn't been confirmed in humans.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Both Tinospora cordifolia and Picrorhiza kurrooa may lower blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with diabetes medications, and both may reduce the effectiveness of immunosuppressants used after organ transplant or for autoimmune conditions. Tinospora cordifolia's interaction with CYP2C9 substrates is supported by animal data showing increased blood levels of glyburide, a diabetes drug.
We could not check Boerhaavia diffusa — no interaction data is on file for it. Altogether, these interactions span 612 individual medications.
Before you start Livit 2, run your exact medications through the search tool on this page or discuss them with your doctor or pharmacist.

For each ingredient in Livit 2 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.
Tinospora cordifolia
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, Tinospora cordifolia might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research in adults with type 2 diabetes shows that Tinospora cordifolia can reduce fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin. Additionally, animal research shows that Tinospora cordifolia has hypoglycemic effects.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, Tinospora cordifolia might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that Tinospora cordifolia extract inhibits CYP1A2 at high concentrations. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, Tinospora cordifolia might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
In vitro research shows that Tinospora cordifolia extract inhibits CYP2C19 at high concentrations. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, Tinospora cordifolia might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro research shows that Tinospora cordifolia extract inhibits CYP2C9. Animal research shows that Tinospora cordifolia extract 400 mg/kg twice daily for 14 days reduces the clearance and increases plasma levels of glyburide, a CYP2C9 substrate. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, Tinospora cordifolia might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro research shows that Tinospora cordifolia extract inhibits CYP2D6 at high concentrations. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, Tinospora cordifolia might reduce the effectiveness of immunosuppressants.
In vitro and animal research shows that Tinospora cordifolia has immunostimulant effects.
Picrorhiza kurrooa
Antidiabetes Drugs
Evidence from animal research suggests that an extract of picrorhiza can reduce fasting and non-fasting blood sugar levels. Theoretically, picrorhiza might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. 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.
Immunosuppressants
Picrorhiza seems to have immunostimulating activity. Theoretically, picrorhiza may interfere with immunosuppressant therapy. Immunosuppressant drugs include azathioprine (Imuran), basiliximab (Simulect), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), daclizumab (Zenapax), muromonab-CD3 (OKT3, Orthoclone OKT3), mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf), sirolimus (Rapamune), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), and other corticosteroids (glucocorticoids).
