HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lobelia 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection

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 capsule contains one active ingredient: lobelia, 450 mg per dose. Lobelia is an herb traditionally used in herbal preparations, though the evidence for its effectiveness is limited.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water — these are inactive ingredients that hold the lobelia together but don't add therapeutic action.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Lobelia product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lobelia's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

For smoking cessation, lobelia is rated as possibly ineffective according to the clinical evidence we hold. This means there isn't reliable proof that it works for this purpose.

If you're looking to quit smoking, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about approaches with stronger evidence behind them.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lobelia

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.

Lobelia carries serious safety concerns. It can be toxic, especially at higher doses — toxicity has been reported at doses of 600 mg or higher, and symptoms can include rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, seizures, and in severe cases, death.

At lower doses (as little as 50 mg), it commonly causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, tremors, coughing, and throat irritation. During pregnancy, lobelia is considered likely unsafe due to toxicity concerns and lack of safety data — avoid it if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Do not use it while breastfeeding either, because of the potential for toxicity in an infant.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lobelia

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 — Lobelia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 1 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.

If you take lithium for mood disorders, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product — lobelia may raise lithium levels and require a dose adjustment. No interactions are documented for other medication types, but that does not mean none exist; always confirm your exact medications with your own healthcare provider.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lobelia is a high-risk herbal supplement with real toxicity potential, especially at higher doses, and limited proven benefits. If you take lithium or any other medications, check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Because of pregnancy and breastfeeding safety concerns and the potential for serious side effects, this is not a supplement to take lightly — discuss it with your healthcare provider first.

Lobelia 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Lobelia 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lobelia 450 mg has a known interaction with 1 medication. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lobelia 450 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.
Is lobelia safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No. Lobelia is considered likely unsafe in pregnancy due to toxicity concerns and lack of safety data — avoid it if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Do not use it while breastfeeding either, because the toxicity risk extends to your infant.
What side effects can lobelia cause?
Lobelia commonly causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, throat irritation, dizziness, tremors, and coughing — even at doses as low as 50 mg. At higher doses (600 mg or more), it can cause serious toxicity with rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, seizures, and in severe cases, death.
Does lobelia actually help you quit smoking?
According to the evidence we hold, lobelia is rated as possibly ineffective for smoking cessation — meaning there's no reliable proof it works. If you're trying to quit, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about approaches with stronger evidence.
What is in each capsule besides lobelia?
Each capsule contains 450 mg of lobelia plus gelatin and water — the gelatin and water are just the capsule material itself and don't provide any active benefit.
Do I need to worry about this product if I take lithium?
Yes. Lobelia's diuretic properties may slow your body's ability to clear lithium, potentially raising its levels and requiring a dose adjustment. Check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting this product if you take lithium.
