Evidence for Intended Use · database check

Leans against

The strongest graded evidence we hold for the stated purpose leans against a benefit.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: respiratory support and smoking cessation.
  • We looked for evidence on: Smoking cessation, cough, bronchitis, asthma.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lobelia is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Smoking cessation (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for lobelia and smoking cessation — the main use people ask about — is rated Possibly Ineffective in our data. That means the science doesn't support it for quitting smoking.

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 real safety concerns. It can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, dizziness, tremors, and throat irritation, even at doses as low as 50 mg.

At higher doses (600 mg or above), toxicity becomes a risk, with symptoms including rapid heart rate (tachycardia), low blood pressure (hypotension), sweating, seizures, dangerously low body temperature (hypothermia), and in severe cases, coma or death. Because of toxicity risks and lack of safety data, lobelia is not advised during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Caution is strongly advised with this product.

Lobelia Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Lobelia Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lobelia Alcohol Free 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 Alcohol Free 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.
Does this help you quit smoking?
The evidence doesn't support it. Lobelia is rated Possibly Ineffective for smoking cessation, so there's no solid reason to use it for that purpose.
What side effects should I watch for?
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, dizziness, tremors, and throat irritation have all been reported, sometimes at fairly low doses. At higher doses (600 mg or more), you risk serious toxicity including rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, seizures, and dangerously low body temperature.
Is it safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Lobelia is rated Likely Unsafe during pregnancy and breastfeeding because of toxicity concerns and insufficient safety data. Avoid it during both periods.
What's the main ingredient?
Lobelia Herb Extract, Dry — the dried extract of the lobelia plant. It's suspended in glycerin and water.
Can I take this if I'm on lithium?
Possibly, but not without checking first. Lobelia's diuretic properties may cause your body to retain lithium, raising its levels. Your doctor may need to adjust your lithium dose. Talk to your pharmacist before starting.
